I was doing stand up comedy when I was 11, that's how I got started; not because I wanted to do comedy, but because we were broke, living in Echo Park in Downtown Los Angeles, from 1986, I saw the Rodney King riots; my parents didn't really work. But I wanted a new backpack, that's how I got into this business - I wanted a new backpack.

I hated golf when we first started, but a big part of the training process was falling in love with this sport, so I went on tour with the UCLA Team.

By studying psychology i want to be a better actor. There's something about studying body language and non-spoken emotion - I know the innate response. But to really study it like a science would be fun.

Literature is an easier way to study acting, because then you can take any kind of spin.

I've been in fights, but that doesn't make me cool or like a tough guy or more interesting actor, I'm not proud of it.

All of the things that have happened in my life have been self-propelled. I can't blame anybody else or point a finger at anybody.

The comic book world is a tough business.
