I thought maybe I'd be a female sportscaster.

I feel like handling a narrative in fiction is a wonderful way to teach stories that then open a pathway to reality and understanding.

I find rage to be the scariest emotion as an actor, for me personally, to tap into. I don't like anger, and I don't like conflict particularly in my life. I like everybody to be nice and things to be easy.

I've never, ever had a job that lasted for more than a few months.

As I got older, I had a bunch of friends that were various teen stars. I've always known people in the spotlight and people who just grew up in L.A. and had nothing to do with the industry. It's not a glamorous thing to me. It's just a different type of business.

A man, to read, must read alone. He may make extracts, he may work at books in company; but to read, to absorb, he must be solitary.

My father's peripatetic career also gave me critical perspective when it came to my own career choices.

I've got incredible support from my wife and family and people around me. I've got great people around me who handle anything on the outside, business-wise, who help free me up to create in my job.
