I find when somebody says to me, 'I'm going to motivate you,' more often than not, they're not going to get me.
excited good looking love none people respect work
There are always things that I'd love to do. As an actor, none of them are specific; all I'm looking for are things that are good quality, that are challenging for me to work on, and even better if I get to work with people that I respect and am excited to work with.
broadcast cnn listen matter national sit
When CNN does a story and then says, 'Tweet us what you think' - why? Why does it matter what I think? Why should my thoughts be broadcast on a national news program? It's enough for me to just sit and listen and learn.
compliments gotten guess people
I've gotten a lot of compliments on the 'Criminal Minds' guy. I guess it's because the look of that character is so different from what people expect of me.
audience bad cameras hold perform performance role stage tend terrible translate
The world of the stage and the performance on the stage usually does not tend to translate very well - it doesn't tend to hold very well - once cameras are on it; it's not like it's terrible or embarrassing or bad anything, but, I, as an actor, would perform a role differently for an audience than I would for just cameras.
challenged eight excited finding number
It's a question of finding the right thing, if I'm going to be an actor... if I have to get up eight times a week for a number of months, I want to be excited and challenged from the day I start to the day I leave.

It specifically says in the Torah that you can eat shrimp and bacon in a Chinese restaurant.
As George Costanza would say, when they're applauding, stop.
son rocks laughing
Things that make me laugh range from a wonderful stand-up like Jerry Seinfeld, Louis C.K. and Chris Rock to my son Gabe, who does great improv work. I also look backwards to the great comedic actors like Jackie Gleason, Paul Lynde and Phil Silvers.
school kids son
I can get motivated seeing a kid at my sons school overcome a learning disability.
directors sense-of-humor made
The thing about For Better or Worse is the only thing that made me an okay director for that is that I have a sense of humor, and it was supposed to be funny.
pain character motivated
I'm always more motivated by the pain of a funny character than by what makes him funny.
