"I know it sounds cliche, but you have to believe in yourself because there's going to be moments that no one else does."
"There are certain scripts that are just written in a way where, for whatever reason, I read it, and instantly that inspiration hit me and it was just kind of electric, and I didn't have to think about it. It just kind of went from there."
"This doesn't seem like one of those 'truth will set you free' situations."
"My parents were hippies. They met at an ashram, where they were studying how to be enlightened."
"A sitcom, you rehearse for four days of the week and then you shoot it all in one night in front of a studio audience. It's like a play every week, you just shoot it over a seven or eight-day period with a single camera. I enjoy this format of show much more. I'm a feature guy. I like making movies. So the four camera thing I didn't love it that much. I found myself slightly out of my element."
