For some reason, they always gave me a fat suit in high-school productions. If there was a character who needed to be robust, they gave me a fat suit, and I put on a silly voice.
Just being attached to 'Superman' actually gave a great boost to my career.
Playing athletics, playing a lot of different sports, going to drama school... I was one of those kids who wanted to do everything, so I ended up being pretty average at everything.
I think if you start to think too much about things that are completely out of control, it will just drive you crazy as an actor.
I want to work with anyone who's passionate about telling a story. I obviously have a list of people I really love, but it's a really long list.
My personal life is a source of incredible happiness for me, but it's personal, and it's not for me to hock or shop around to the highest bidder.
I think anyone who's ever gone through adolescence and wanted something from their parents knows the basic tenets of a con.
New York City is one of the greatest places on the planet. You have the best in food, art, theatre, and definitely people-watching.
I don't know anybody who walks through life all the time in the doldrums, constantly serious and morose. But that's become what we generalize as drama.
When I was in high school, there was no safe haven, there was no outlet for you to speak your mind.
Well, when you're playing a role, you have to think, 'What is ultimately motivating the character?'
I like to just work with great directors.
I don't think it's a bad thing to go out there and challenge yourself as an actor.
Cote de Pablo is one of my best friends! We went to college together.
