You're confronted with the quandary: do I grind things to a halt? Ideally you would, but I have better things to do than educate people.

An actor's job is to embrace emotions and situations that in real life we spend all of our time running away from.

I have to laugh internally when I'm asked in interviews what nightspots I like to hit. I just don't have answers... so sometimes I make them up.

Four months of preparation and about 12 hours of shooting turned into about 30 seconds of screen time.

I spend my weekends sleeping and watching DVDs, and eating at restaurants within a 2-block radius of my apartment.

I broke my nose in gym when a ball hit me. I took a girl to her debutante ball the next week wearing a tux and a big, honking bandage. Not the romantic night she had in mind.

I'm hoping that what I am or what I'm not ethnically doesn't limit me in anyone else's eyes. I guarantee you it doesn't in mine.
