I enjoy cooking and baking. Alicia Silverstone's vegan cookbook is awesome.
I don't put myself out there, so people aren't necessarily familiar with me or my face.
You can tell actually when he starts to talk about his family, or his Daughters, or his Wife, and his whole face - really he's so really kind of a dear.
I don't often see the movies I'm in; I'm usually disappointed in myself and it only serves to make me self-conscious.
I don't live in Los Angeles and I don't do a lot of superfluous press.

I'm not comfortable with getting a job by being at the right Hollywood party; I'm not a terribly sociable creature.
I don’t think it’s that controversial. I’m really in favor of legalizing marijuana. I thought people would be more offended by [this series] than they are. I’m surprised they weren’t.
The first thing I ever bought for myself was a green Lacoste shirt.
