I always knew that I'd probably do something in the arts.

Most of my comedy is accidental, I would say. If I don't know what the joke is, I'm going to play it better than if I do.

I've seen some of my favorite actors give bad performances, and I have to tell myself that failure is a part of success.

You know what, maybe I just want a different kind of life. Maybe I want to open an antique store and coffee shop, and have a different kind of life.

What you learn in any acting class is how to make a fool of yourself and enjoy things and get out of your head.

In school I really loved Shakespeare, and I participated in a country-wide Shakespeare competition.

You have to be kinder to yourself, because it's a part of being good.

I don't need to be crazy rich and crazy famous. I would just like to keep going.

The thing I'd miss most is the feeling when acting is going well, when you start a play and you end the night and you look back and go, "What just happened?"

If I had a child and she was a girl, I'd hope she'd do something different from me.

Acting was something I wanted to work at and put the time into.

But there's always a first time for everything

Only god has the privilege of abandoning us. Men can only drop us

Now this is the first rule of fight club: There is nothing a blue collar Nobody in Oregon with a public school education can imagine that a million-billion people haven't already done.

The job of arguing with the umpire belongs to the manager, because it won't hurt the team if he gets thrown out of the game.

I believe in plenty of optimism and white paint.

I find it really hard to throw myself into something artistically where I'm making up a whole character and finding something for that character to do.

I'm an Asian with a Southern accent. To a lot of people, that right there is funny.

Every season of life has its compensations.

Where I create, there I am true.

Peace, perfect peace, in this dark world of sin? The Blood of Jesus whispers peace within.
