Peter Dinklage is one of my oldest friends from New York!

Yeah, I spent my teen years in West Virginia, and when I was a kid, in Louisiana. I definitely have that exposure to two different sorts of rural: the South and Appalachia.

When I was in high school, I was really into string theory and superstring theory and read 'Scientific American.' It's fascinating.

When you get into Louisiana, it really is like a different country in a lot of ways. The plants you see are a little different, like the weeping willows and the cypress trees that come up out of the bayou. And it's steamy hot.

I guess everybody's different, but I know that everybody's natural instinct is to remember the bad stuff more than the good stuff.

I can't give a decent toast to save my life.

When I wake up, I'll go through emails on my iPhone - the junk email. At that point, my brain isn't usually awake enough to handle anything more than that.
