"I do love my avocados, which are great for the skin. I eat pretty healthfully."
"I like to pretend that I'm a tough guy. It's kind of an admission of defeat if I have to ask for help - or even kindness. But if it doesn't come, at some point I snap and demand it."

"Mediocrity is underrated."
"People have a problem with me being different, but that propels me forward in life."
"I don't get tired of hearing that somebody liked my work."
"It's good to feel stupid sometimes and do things that are out of your comfort zone."
"I put a lot of stock in the written word, and the power of it. That's what I love about acting and reading scripts. Words are really powerful. I don't believe that axiom at all - words can absolutely hurt you. Words can wound. They can do a lot of damage. I think they can do way more damage than sticks and stones. I'll take sticks and stones."
