“Love love and cherish life. Also, just eat the cake.”

I never really thought of myself as being an action hero or a leading man, or any of that. I’m a character actor.

When I first started, I just wanted to work. I wouldn’t necessarily do anything, but I’d pretty much almost do anything at the very beginning.

I’ve grown so much, not just as an actor, but as a human being.

Yeah, I left Idaho at 17. You know, I graduated high school a year early and just, you know, the typical story, packed up my car and moved out.

Thank you, Hollywood, for allowing me to be part of your group.

I have 14 nieces and nephews.

I’m a character actor.

I’m obsessed with concerts.

I’m not a leading man.

I filmed myself drunk, just to see what I’m like. I watched so many funny videos of people drunk on YouTube.

I think by eighth grade I knew I wanted to be an actor. I’d done church plays and stuff, but my first actual acting class was in eighth grade. I was obsessed with it.

What’s so great about television. You’re able to tell a long story, where you couldn’t really do that in a film because you have to tell a story in an hour and a half or two hours.

I mean, I’ve never really had much security, to be honest.

That’s the wonder of the internet. It’s the power of numbers: get enough people to retweet something, someone might see it.

There’s the really angry drunk, who’s just annoying to be around. I prefer the drunk who falls all over the place and is being completely inappropriate. Or the super-loud, happy drunk, which is evidentially what I am.

The best way to watch Breaking Bad is in the fetal position, sobbing.

You can walk away from your mistakes You can turn your back on what you do Just a little smile is all it takes And you can have your cake and eat it too.

Good health, peace of mind, being outdoors, camaraderie – those are all wonderful things that come to you when running. But for me, the real pull of running – the proverbial icing on the cake – has always been racing.

Celebration is life’s frosting: isn’t frosting the very best part of the cake?

Despite my inability to qualify to qualify in South Africa, I did really appreciate the support I got from the IOC particularly the Olympic Solidarity, members of the ICF, my own National Olympic Committee, friends and athletes from the Slalom Community.

He who has two cakes of bread, let him dispose of one of them for some flowers of the narcissus; for bread is the food of the body, and the narcissus is the food of the soul.

Rich people believe “You can have your cake and eat it too.” Middle-class people believe “Cake is too rich, so I’ll only have a little piece.” Poor people don’t believe they deserve cake, so they order a doughnut, focus on the hole, and wonder why they have “nothing.”

My policy on cake is pro having it and pro eating it.

I like birthday cake. It’s so symbolic. It’s a tempting symbol to load with something more complicated than just ‘Happy birthday!’ because it’s this emblem of childhood and a happy day.
