Whenever I'm feeling a bit down, I always visit the local children's hospital. Knowing that those cancer-kids wont be able to live long enough to surpass me in fame just warms my heart, you know?

Didn't we learn our lesson from Planet of the Apes?

When I first moved to L.A., I thought about turning gay. Then I realized none of the guys I was interested in was good enough for me.

When I was told they wanted the show to be about doctors, I was a bit reluctant to sign on, you know? I thought, why have a show about doctors when we could have a show about the real heroes, you know, like me?

The biggest problem I had with starring in Scrubs were the black doctors. I just had to keep telling myself this show was satire.

I always wanted to direct movies. That's what I set out to do. When I was a little kid I just dreamed of making movies, and I went to film school [at Northwestern University].

I am really driven, but my drive doesn't effect the conversations I have in my head about life, and my worries and fears and insecurities.
