I've been working for a long time and I've just really been allowed to work, with very little of the baggage and the pressures that can come with my job.
Sometimes in life if you wanna do something good, you gotta do something bad.
What am I going to wear to the Emmys? Something with a tie.
I'm attracted to roles that are unpredictable, and if I can get my hands on something like that, I'm thrilled. I like performances where you don't know what's coming, moment to moment.
I'm not looking for answers when I show up to the set. I'm just asking the questions, over and over.
Sometimes, people aren't as consciously aware of their decisions as they should be.
As the saying goes, Bruce Jenner is a millionaire, and Mark Spitz is a dentist. It's the wrong sport.
As far as the leading man/romantic lead, I'll tell you what, I really enjoyed my experience more than I thought or imagined I would on 'Catch and Release.' God bless them if they want to give me another shot at that. I would love to have that as something I can go to on occasion.
In my mind, I'm doing everything, but in reality, I'm doing very, very little. You come up with one idea, one moment, one line that leads to something and you feel like it's easy. And then, you sit back and think there would be no show without that.
I punch a lot of guys on set. It's much easier than in real life as your hands don't hurt afterwards. The key is that you miss.
The basic thing a man should know is how to change a tyre and how to drive a tractor. Whatever that bearded dude is doing on the Dos Equis beer commercials sets the bar. That's your guy. Every man should be aiming to be like him. The beard is just the tip of the iceberg.
It's changed throughout the years, but at one time I was a really big bubble gum ice cream fan. I'd spit the bubble gum pieces in a cup and then collect them.
