I met [Shatner] on the set of Star Trek V, and he was horrible to me. He was cruel, and dismissive, and treated me the way I understand he treats pretty much everyone who tells him how much they loved him as Captain Kirk.

If you enjoyed making a thing, and you’re proud of the thing you made, that’s enough. Not everyone is going to like it, and that’s okay.

Even when I was little, people would always ask me if I wanted to be a movie star, and I would always say, "No, I just want to be an actor."

When you say a 'former child star,' you may as well say 'failed child star.

I'm so fed up with being told that I'm a bad person because I don't subscribe to the same exact narrow views [Christians] have.

Sometimes we know in our bones what we really need to do, but we're afraid to do it. Taking a chance and stepping beyond the safety of the world we've always known is the only way to grow, though and without risk there is no reward.

No matter what I do with my life, or how successful I am, I will always be a socially awkward penguin inside.
