I can't watch myself in interviews. I feel like I look like a wreck. My mom is always calling me and going, 'Stop fidgeting,' and it's like, 'You have no idea what it's like, Mom.'

The first rule of Zombieland: Cardio. When the zombie outbreak first hit, the first to go, for obvious reasons ... were the fatties.

I had great difficulty in school interacting with others, and I took refuge in the contrived setting of play acting, which is what I still do.

I grew up in a secular suburban Jewish household where we only observed the religion on very specific times like a funeral or a Bar Mitzvah.

Every character I play has to be the hero of his own story, the way we're all heroes of our own lives.

I have an iPad and I watch three things: 'The Daily Show,' '60 Minutes,' and 'Meet the Press.'

No compliment is ever sufficient and every insult, of course, is true.

I have one female fan. But she lives with me. I'm not aware of any others.

Society will decide after the technology is created what we will and won't accept.

The happiest moments for me, creatively, are doing readings of a play around a table where there's no audience.

People ask me what my hobbies are in interviews, and I always say biking. But all I bike for is to get to rehearsal more quickly.

The limit in life is the only limit you set.

...I stood there, inexpressibly grateful that my life, for all its terrors, is so filled with moments of grace.

No one can pull anyone back from anywhere. You save yourself or you remain unsaved.

Anyone could father a child. But a good parent puts his child's needs before his own. A parent should be selfless not selfish.

My goal is to make people feel passionately, if it's negative or positive, I did my job.

I like my cinema gritty, I like my eggs gritty.

A lot of times I feel I probably would have ended up in a mental hospital if it weren't for the structure that 'Bones' gave me.

Our thoughts are clay, they are moulded with the changes of the days;--when we are resting they are good; under fire, they are dead. Fields of craters within and without.

One must conquer, achieve, get to the top; one must know the end to be convinced that one can win the end - to know there's no dream that mustn't be dared. . .

Love, patience, and meekness can be just as contagious as rudeness and crudeness.
