I was genuinely frightened when I saw the Daleks. These ridiculous-looking things absolutely get to the core of you when you're standing in front of one.

I've had more fan mail from 'Doctor Who' than anything. People love the show so passionately.

Most shows find themselves descending into sentimentality or earnestness at some point but, with 'Community,' the joke is always on.

My favourite programme of all time is 'Weeds'; the first three or four series are perfection.

I don't see the arts as competitive at all. It was a better angel of my nature. Sports is zero-sum: winner, loser, demonstrable.

You need to be a professional - how you train, how you eat, how you sleep, where you go outside of football.

To play the role of a sports champion, I first needed to break my body and become supremely fit to convincingly look like a college athlete. Along with acing sporting disciplines, I also had to balance the emotional graph and light heartedness of a college drama while competing in varying sport! Combining the two drained a lot out of me.

Before I was 12 years old, I had no interest in music; I was just into football. Then I heard Don McLean's 'Vincent' come on at the end of an episode of 'The Simpsons.' You know when you hear something and you don't understand why you like it, you just do? That's how I felt. I just thought, 'I want to be able to write songs like that.'
