I came to acting in a very circuitous way.

My first paying job, when I was 15, I was a day camp counselor.

You show your vulnerability through relationships, and those feelings are your soft spot. You need to have a soft spot.

I competed in track for 10 years and have been doing kickboxing forever.

Cast changes are a hard thing. For two years, we had this little family. We weren't together when these changes were decided upon. It all happened during our hiatus.

I desperately want a dog, but I've been told I travel too much, and I'm not allowed to have a dog.

I never was really into comics as a child, and I think if you miss the boat when you're a kid, you don't necessarily pick up on it when you're an adult.

In the beginning, people think vulnerability will make you weak, but it does the opposite. It shows you're strong enough to care.

I think I'm a people person. I get very attached to people. And I've become so attached to all the people on my show, the cast, the crew and the producers.

The cork was in the bottle. He and the Atropos were trapped.

I'm a songwriter who just wants to bring people great songs.

Nothing marks the change from the city to the country so much as the absence of grinding noises. The country is never silent. But its sounds are separate, distinct, and as it were, articulate.

I'm kind of ADD in that sense where if I start liking something, I'll just learn it to the absolute max.

I had absolutely no idea of how I was supposed to play. I never learned music! I was just thinking: "if anyone can do it, I can do it too."

You don't make stupid jokes in art.

I write a column for The Village Voice, which I've done since time immemorial, and occasionally - and books. And I occasionally write minor notes for record albums and occasional articles.

I don't know if many people know this about me, but I have multiple sclerosis. So I don't have time for a lot of shades of gray. I don't have time for BS.

You can't create a political movement out of pabulum.

All our yesterdays, it is true, have only lighted fools the way to dusty death. But we need at least the dates of the yesterdays and the list of the fools.
