What is your peace all about? What is your comfort all about? Where do you get your love? Where do you get your talents? And I can turn to them and say without blinking, โJesus Christ.โ
Zachary LeviI love hosting. I've always really enjoyed making people happy, and so anytime I'm doing anything or the event is doing anything, and I look around and there are smiles on everybody's faces, I feel like I've succeeded in doing something. That's the stuff that I'm most grateful for.
Zachary LeviI'm more of a seat of my pants, heat of the moment kind of person, which lends itself well to hosting and acting, but not necessarily going, "Oh, what is my shot list? That's right, I needed to work on a shot list."
Zachary LeviI'm still kind of nerdy about video games, but I've had to take a little bit of a step back. I was really not getting a lot of things done in life because I was playing so much Destiny. I loved it, but I've gotta prioritize.
Zachary LeviWhen you go and create something, you want to believe in it. If they don't, we're barking up the wrong tree. But when you believe in something and you see other people believing in it too, it just feels like you're doing something right in the world, and that feels good.
Zachary LeviI believe in incentivizing people. If you can incentivize people in anything, whether it's in politics; in life; in spirituality; in business; just take care of folks. Incentivize them and all of a sudden it's amazing the difference that you'll see.
Zachary LeviThe people that keep coming back every year are diehards. I'll go out there to host a panel and I know half of the audience. I see them, every year, and they come back for more because they believe in us. That's one of the coolest things.
Zachary LeviI love reading about all of the breakthroughs and all of the new tech, even just the little household things that are coming on the market. I've always been nerdy about that.
Zachary LeviI love being able to be the artist of the whole picture, as opposed to just one of the brushes.
Zachary LeviI have a hard time with scheduling, and with hunkering down and planning. That's always been a struggle for me.
Zachary LeviBeing nerdy just means being passionate about something, including everyone - the coolest people on Earth are passionate and therefore nerdy about something whatever it is, whether it's sports, or gaming, or technology, or fashion, or beauty, or food, or whatever.
Zachary LeviI believe that as an entertainer, you're only as good as your audience and the people who support you.
Zachary LeviYou just want to make something that's awesome and that people dig, and I'm excited about it.
Zachary LeviI've sung my whole life. I did a lot of musical theater growing up, I sing in the shower, sing in the car, sing everywhere really, on set at Chuck, all the time. I like it, and I've always felt like I've had a knack for it, or a talent for it, on some level, I don't know.
Zachary LeviDeadpool would have been an amazing character to play, but Ryan Reynolds already did that.
Zachary LeviMy high school experience was pretty good, but my middle school experience was god awful. It was horrible. I got picked on like no tomorrow.
Zachary LeviTelevision is a pretty great job, to begin with, and I wouldn't have anything, if it weren't for the jobs that I've had in the past that have built up to that
Zachary LeviI had gotten the role of Fandral in Thor, but scheduling conflicts (with Chuck) prevented that from going forward.
Zachary LeviI get a lot that people have a hard time believing that Iโm a nerd... but I grew up with a Nintendo controller in my hand.
Zachary LeviI am afraid for my health. I'm definitely burning the candle a little, at both ends, and I have to be careful about that.
Zachary LeviI just remember that when Jennifer Love Hewitt released an album a few years back, it was like 'Oh, why is Jennifer Love Hewitt releasing an album?' But if Queen Latifah, or Justin Timberlake, or anybody else wants to be an actor, it's like 'Yeah, I'll go check that out.'
Zachary LeviOh I've done bungee jumping. Skydiving, I have motorcycles that I ride. I'm a little bit of an adrenaline junkie in that way.
Zachary LeviAs artists, when you have people that care about what you do, I think you should care about those people who care about what you do, and give them really cool interactive experiences to make them feel appreciated.
Zachary LeviI hope there's always at least a small part of me that's always surprised, always taken aback, always childlike or innocent.
Zachary LeviMy whole background, my whole life was just lots and lots of theater, a lot of that being musical theater.
Zachary LeviOn a personal level, I love the idea of hosting an awards show. I think that sounds like kind of a fun thing to do.
Zachary LeviI think that 'Family Guy' is hysterical. It's edgy and hip - and they can do whatever they want to do because it's animated and they're not limited by budget.
Zachary LeviI think everyone is their harshest critic, but I strive for excellence as much as I can because I think it shows.
Zachary LeviNerd. One whose unbridled passion for something defines who they are as a person, without fear of other people's judgment.
Zachary LeviPeople donโt talk about religion a lot in Hollywood because itโs not an incredibly safe place to do it.
Zachary LeviI wish it was a little easier for an actor to later go into singing and have it be accepted, but maybe I can still do it.
Zachary LeviI want to go create my own independent content and entertainment, in new models and in new ways, and essentially show studios and networks that people are good.
Zachary LeviIf I had all the money in the world, I'd be like, "Great, let's just keep doing it!" I, unfortunately, have not won the lottery or found the magic genie lamp.
Zachary LeviA lot of people, especially Christians, want to put you in this box of being a Christian actor, and I don't believe in it. You do yourself and everyone else a big disservice when you start thinking about it as "Christian art." That's why most Christian art is bad. They don't put a premium on the "art."
Zachary LeviAs far as comic books are concerned, I was always a Marvel guy for the most part, although I did follow DC a little. I don't know, honestly I'd just like to play whatever role [that] not just the studio, but the fans think I fit the best into. Because I think, especially in worlds like that, you've really got to do right by the fan base and stay in tune with what they are looking for and what they desire. I would just want to do right by them.
