Generally people are nice, but it's so weird that it has made me more cautious. Just like anyone else, I like looking around at my environment, but now as I walk down the street I tend to look down.

It's always nice when someone says that they don't realize it's me on screen, but it would be strange to enter a one story while thinking of another character I do, which is completely different.

What I wanted to do was music, until I was about 16. But it was jazz and rock, never classical music.

To me the ambiguity is, maybe our perception of ourselves is always going to be different than somebody else's perception. There will always be that disparity.

Well, I think that everybody is kind of a nerd at heart.

It's not really about confidence. It's just something that isn't really in the vocabulary of what goes on at work. The writers write and the actors act.

I was like, I can't believe I get to be in a scene with Meryl Streep [in Florence Foster Jenkins]! And then I was like, but why do I have to play Chopin? It's already going to be intimidating.

That is what's disconcerting about working on the show, you can't seem to get an instinct about what works and what doesn't. It happens a lot, and in different ways.

There's also these moments when you're like, oh, I really want to do different things. Not instead of this show [The Big Bang Theory]. It's just a hunger to do something else, too.

Im married, so I tend not to hit on every girl.

Meryl Streep is so brilliant is because she is so human, and aware as a performer.

Life's markers are never just for one moment in time. Every event holds a key. Each builds upon the other and becomes an indicator towards a higher purpose.

Sometimes miracles happen in this world simply because good people take action and decide to do something, and never give up.

The Yankees are one of the best teams. I want to stay with them forever.

My wife Danielle and I love travelling, different cultures and good weather.

I became a journalist to come as close as possible to the heart of the world.

Although I try / to hold the single thought / of Buddha's teaching in my heart, / I cannot help but hear / the many crickets' voices calling as well.

I think, frankly, that I'm a better director than I was an actor.

No money is better spent than what is laid out for domestic satisfaction.

It's not hard to draw from within yourself to play someone protective of her daughter. I have animals and I'm a daughter, sister, wife, aunt and friend, and I can be fiercely protective.

If you mean to profit, learn to please.
