I've worked a lot in comedy. As much as I love playing dramatic roles, it's always nice to be able to have some humor around when working.

I've been acting for many years, and the more you do, the more confidence you get about "this is my career and this is what I'm going to be doing."

Being a son of the pastor, I was never allowed to play Joseph or any of the big parts for political reasons.

Trying to find a human side to the character is a way to give them a chance to have people like them.

As an actor, I enjoy variety. That's a big thing for me.

The weird thing about drama school is that you train for three years for one thing and then more often than not, it's something that you haven't trained for that you end up doing.

We're characters not of this world, so our knowledge about stuff, that other character's don't have, is quite fun.

Being on the floor of a TV show is sometimes a quite frustrating experience.

The fact that you can say stuff to people that other people are only thinking is always fun. It's a great tool for comedic moments, as well.

When you're a drama student, I think the most you hope for is to make a living out of acting.

I wanted to work on a cable show and with a writer/director because that's a much more fulfilling and freeing experience, as an actor.

You can go on losing after loss.

The path you are on is the fabric of imagination, but it is kindled with the fires of hopes and dreams...

Haste is a poor counselor

Do I have a long-term plan? Kind of. I have a general direction, I think. But it's funny what comes down the pike.

Rationality of thought imposes a limit on a person's concept of his relation to the cosmos.

Low stir of leaves and dip of oars And lapsing waves on quiet shores.

Writing is a miracle. You can travel anywhere in the world, to any time and any place — and still be home in time to have dinner.

I never try to force poems into a collection simply because they were written/published within a certain period of time. They will eventually find their perfect home.

In real-world Finance, they don't pay for elegance. They pay for power - predictive power.

There are two ways you can go with pain: You can let it destroy you or you can use it as fuel to drive you.
