“There’s no conversation more boring than talking about what it’s really like to live in Newport and how the show compares to the real thing. I just don’t care.”

It helps if you don’t date other actors, but actresses are beautiful. How can you say no?

I try to make all of my roles likeable in some way.

I don’t know anyone who’s going to see Grind 22 times in the theater. My mom. Some kid who has short-term memory loss and forgot that he’s seen it.

I’ve had to fight for roles and I’ve lost a hundred roles, but ‘Smoking’ and ‘Smith’ were phone calls. That’s the dream.

I always knew I was going to die in space.

I love movie-making. I’m interested in writing and directing, and I’ve dabbled, but I haven’t done anything I care to brag about. Yet.

I’m a fake intellectual.

I feel like Hollywood is a big high school again. Seriously, Ashton Kutcher is the prom king.

I always enjoyed movies and in hindsight I realise how captivating they were to me.

I like an interesting movie even if it’s controversial or offensive, depending on your taste.

I just want to be in good things that I want to see, and I want to work with talented people who are smarter than myself.

If I don’t direct a movie at some point, I’ve failed personally.

It’s bad writing, however naturalistic it’s written, that’s where you have to do your best acting.

My best jokes are so cheap. All I do is say things sarcastically.

I worry that I can come off smarmy. I wonder if I was listening to myself if I’d want to kick my own ass.

Really, as long as I am working and have diversity, I am happy.
