I always liked the idea of leadership and being a captain.

I always loved the retail entertainment sector, like FAO Schwartz, where it's a little more exciting than just going into a little corner deli candy place.

My favorite place in the world is my dad's house in Montauk.

I think people always want candy, whether you're a kid or an adult.

In 'Diary,' the motto really is: 'Where Do You Get Your Inspiration?' It coaches us to be aware of our motives and not just be a reaction to the circumstances around us.

I'm very much an optimist. I don't think I could do my work if I didn't believe there was some kind of hope for humanity.

As far as I can tell, most actors' main motivation is self-doubt and neuroses.

For people who believe that they can't do it, I hope I'm an inspiration to others to get out there and try swimming. You might be pretty good at it.
