For music, I always just played music myself - and, I had rock bands and wrote songs and put bands together that were loud, but not especially good. That was sort of the place music had in my career.

I studied voice at Yale with Blake Stern from the music school, and he had me singing German lieder and Italian songs.

I was a big 'X-Files' fan. I always lamented that I never got to be on 'The X-Files'.

My life/career is more filled with left-field thrills than I could ever have hoped for.

I do feel pressure. I have always been able to surprise people because they didn't know to expect anything from me. And now people are starting to have expectations.

My father is a university professor so when the schools needed a little kid for their productions I was often the kid they used. The first time I was ever on stage was about 2nd grade.

...inability to lie is still far from being love to truth. Be on your guard! ... He who cannot lie, doth not know what truth is.

If there's no struggle, there's no progress.

All these people I interview are worth ten times what I'm worth.

I definitely use my music to kind of alleviate my stress and get me through specific moments in time where I'm just being really tough on myself.

For no one does life drag more disagreeably than for those who try to speed it up.

I came from a very normal, un-Hollywood background. My parents provided me with every sort of normal upbringing that they could.

I honestly don't even really want to think about it [if Donald Trump wins]; I'd rather focus on how wonderful Hillary Clinton is.

It's easy to write something average or even something good. But writing well is quite challenging.

I literally get up and get to do the one thing I dreamed about doing every day. And that is being a part of a television show and a radio show that is based in Hollywood.

If you wait for tomorrow to follow your dreams, by the time that you get there they're gone.
