life lottery waiter
I was a waiter before 'The Office,' so to me, this was a winning lottery ticket. Everything about my life has changed.
allow held jobs studio waiter yoga
I held down as many jobs as I could find, from being a waiter to working at a yoga studio and as a ticket-taker at a small theater company - anything that would allow me to go out and do auditions.
credits waiter wednesday work
By being a waiter 100 percent, I think I was a lot like any other actor in New York. I had credits because I'd work lunches during the week, and then on a Wednesday would go be lucky enough to be in a movie like 'Kinsey.'
drawback exactly lead lined partner
The real drawback when you write with a partner is that where you want it to go and where they want it to go is similar, but not exactly lined up, and that's where it's going to lead you into trouble.
good responsibility
I think we all have a responsibility to tell good stories.
scariest situations
I think we all get into situations where we don't know how to proceed, and those are really the scariest moments that we have, but that's also what makes us 'grow up' and learn a lot about each other.
married screw terror whether
I think that whether you're married or not, in any relationship, there's always the terror that you're going to screw something up.
dave sort
I went to Dave Eggers with this idea of doing a movie about a guy going through some sort of Frank Capra-esque journey.
formed incredible wives
My parents and my brothers and their wives are incredible and formed me as a person long before I got to Hollywood.
huge indie kids
I was one of those kids who had never seen an indie film before I got to college. If it wasn't a big, huge tentpole movie, or if it wasn't on the radio, I hadn't experienced it.
saw streets
I remember when I saw 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind,' I wanted to go out and direct a movie right there on the streets of Manhattan. Unfortunately, you can't without permits.
hard people throwing
People aren't throwing themselves at me, but I also don't go out very much. Like, when I do go out, it's for breakfast, so it's a little hard to throw yourself at me during breakfast.
alpha appear bigger extreme guys harder level primal tough urge
We can appear to be tough as nails, but guys have a level of insecurity and vulnerability that's exponentially bigger than you think. With the primal urge to be alpha comes extreme heartbreak. The harder we fight, the harder we fall.
analogy buy deserve enjoy funny hollywood shake snow time
It's funny: I've always had the analogy of a snow globe, that Hollywood is a snow globe. No, it's true. If you shake it up, you can look at it and really enjoy it. But don't ever go in. Don't ever buy into it and be like, 'I deserve all of this!' because it can go away at any time, so just have a lot of fun.
