I was a greasy short-order cook. I just liked being greasy! That was a real departure for me.

Intimidation is 99 percent in the intimidatee's head.

It was fun shooting with Josh [Holloway], not just how great he is, but just how handsome he is.

Sports and politics are basically all I really care about or talk about.

Anything government or politics is always exciting for me.

Every actor wants to do more, because you always think you can improve it.

Shia [LaBeouf] was great. He's just high energy. He's into really playing, and I had to be on my toes in a way that I wasn't necessarily expecting.

When you're not gaping at Megan Fox enough to listen to what the director's saying, you can get some work done.

Hugh Laurie was intimidating, but he's the greatest guy. He's so wonderful and smart and funny and serious, and he sets the bar high. So if I was scared, it's because I wasn't measuring up.

I guess actors don't like to direct each other.

It can be easy and comfortable on the set and you don't go anywhere, or it can be a stress machine and all of a sudden it's a hit.

A good relationship is a two-way street, gatita. Submitting and serving is equaled by a master’s need to take control, to protect, to make someone happy.

Carry out the republican principle of universal suffrage, or strike it from your banners and substitute 'Freedom and Power to one half of society, and Submission and Slavery to the other.'

It's weird for me to try and write punk songs - I'm almost scared of it.

I have seriously thought about retiring, but that was on a good day. On a bad day I've thought about killing myself.

Preaching, in the first sense of the word, ceased as soon as ever the gospel was written.

I like the creativity of planning a party, or cooking and taking care of people, creating a memorable meal or event.

John [Mulaney] likes to say I'm like a district attorney with absolutely no jurisdiction whatsoever.

Shall we gather strength by irresolution and inaction?

..people are working harder than ever, but because they lack clarity and vision, they aren’t getting very far. They, in essence, are pushing a rope...with all of their might.
