One time, just passing by, I happened to see Jack White from the White Stripes. I'm a huge White Stripes fan, and I did a whole 180. It was like my jaw hit the ground.
We've got to get off oil. And it's possible. It'll take a dramatic shift in the way we think and how our infrastructure works, but we as Americans have proven time and again that we can tackle change head on. Yeah, it's a challenge, but it doesn't have to be a painful one. We just have to recalibrate our thinking on the subject.
I guess my favorite Web site would be theonion.com. I used to read that paper all the time in New York, and it still cracks me up. It's actually my homepage on my computer.
I have some friends who have been living in the political world for some time now. It's a lot of robbing Peter to pay Paul. If you've got something you want, and that person who has it wants something in return, it quite literally becomes your job to find whatever it is that they want.
I've always been a big fan of 'Law & Order: SVU.' I think Mariska Hargitay and Chris Meloni are just incredible.
I like comfy feet. If I'm not barefoot, you'll probably find me with a pair of New Balance on.
I intend to act forever if I can.
I am very lucky that I get to go to work and laugh all day for my day job, and then go home and torture my artistic self.
I actually started as a director, but then I saw Mark Ruffalo in 'You Can Count on Me,' and I thought to myself, 'I want to do that.'
Honestly, my biggest education regarding improv comedy actually came on the job working for 'My Boys.'
I'm an avid reader. Novels, non-fiction, comics, it doesn't matter. Best way in the world to feed your head.
I'll always come back to comedy. Doing drama can feel satisfying, but day to day, it's just not as fun as laughing.
I love 'The Americans.' I think it's one of the best shows on TV.
Obviously, when I first came to the land of blond-haired, blue-eyed surfer types, I was the sardonic, sarcastic, liquor-swilling, chain-smoking, dark-haired, dark-eyed guy from New York.
