"My father had wanted to name me for Dylan Thomas. He had seen him speak on one of those drunken poetry tours he did."
"Yeah, my dad was in the foreign service. We lived in India, Indonesia and Africa, and we traveled a lot from those places. I was 10 when we moved back, and I felt like the odd guy out.

"I grew up all around the world, and when I settled in a suburb in America, I didn't have any idea what I was supposed to wear."
"I kind of grew up on the East Coast, lived in New York for a while, then moved to L.A. So I'm not a New Yorker at all, but I'm much happier in New York; I've always liked it better."

They're not going to let one industry monopolize your attention, you know? You're likely to have best friends who are architects or newspaper reporters."
"My best moment of 2011 would definitely be the birth of my daughter six weeks ago, on September 25."
