I mean, I understand that Scrubs was my big break, but sooner or later you have to move on. I've already directed a movie, which received very good reviews, so it just seems much more important to me now. I feel that in order to better foster my creativity as an actor and director at this point, I need to be surrounded by other talented, artistic individuals, instead of just goofy comedians.

I wouldn't call myself a modern Shakespeare, but Shakespeare was probably to his generation what I am to mine.

When I was little I always wanted to drive a train. That, and become a baker.

It's always weird being the only white person in a group. It feels like everyone's looking to me for guidance.

Most people just aren't grateful for the lives they have, and it really saddens me. For instance, I said 'hello' to a man the other day, and he didn't even recognize me. It just really saddens me.

My co-stars aren't bad actors, but they're no Zach Braff.

I guess sometimes God just needs to laugh
