“I made a bunch of comedies, I made one drama and I made a couple musicals.”

And I’m just kind of blowing through this. And everybody’s, like, happy, and giving thumbs up.

I will never lose anything that an audience will miss

Most of the actors have said “this is the best role they’ve ever had.” So you know, that’s important to me.

People love seeing people trying to change stuff.

I actually had less time and the exact same budget on Hairspray, which was few years ago and this is a much bigger movie [then Rock of Ages]. That’s the way studios do it now.

The discovery of dance has changed my life in unimaginable ways.

Believe me, there was never any discussion of lip syncing or another voice or anything like that, because if the guy’s going to hang out on the top of the Burj

Dancing and music were my first love. I was happiest at being a chorus boy.

There was a lot of stuff [in Rock of Ages] that had effects in it and I thought it was too smooth.

I think of myself of as a little bit of hack, and think like that, and I think of her [Mia Michaels] as an artist.

I grew up looking at the Sunset Strip, literally.

I turned things that were scripted as effects into in-camera stuff, which is sexier.

I grew up on the beach, now I live under the Hollywood sign.

I’m just like a shark, in that way. If I stop swimming, I’ll die.

It’s been exhausting. It’s been the hardest thing I’ve ever done because it’s just so big, and I haven’t had a lot of time.

I grew up in Brentwood, but I live now in Los Feliz.

I really love big scarves. I have a whole bunch.

With a sketch show, it’s “a bunch of people and they’re being funny.” In a way that you can’t really explain it.

I’m not the one or two take guy, but I’m not the 20, 30, 50, 70 take guy either. If I do a bunch of takes, like more than five or six, it’s usually for some technical reasons.

Nothing is creepier than a bunch of adults being very quiet.

I’m just getting better and better. It’s just like a bunch of worker bees protecting the king bee, because I’m not a queen bee. I’m a king bee.

It’s never been seen that a street artist go as far as I’ve gone – keep consistent without wanting to do a bunch of ventures outside of music to keep my face out there.

When you’re playing against a whole bunch of All-Stars, it’s like a video game. There’s so much talent on the floor at once.

There’s a bunch of stuff I want to learn. Instead of waiting around on set all day, I’d rather be learning something cool.
