My introduction to acting was through theatre, so I actually saw a couple of Broadway shows that made me want to be an actor.

I don't believe in pick-up lines because I've always been very comfortable in my own skin.

I don't take myself too seriously. I think that's something so many actors and people in general tend to do.

The thing about a pick-up line is, even if it works, then what? I just figure you unapologetically be yourself, and if it works, cool.

I always separate myself from reviews, but tweets and Instagram comments, they go directly to my phone. It's hard to keep up.

You definitely have to be focused at certain times in your life and in your career, but at the end of the day, there's only so much you can do. Then you just have to chock it up to fate.

I do like to dress up and look nice, and I'm inspired by people who do the same - people who express themselves through how they dress.

I want longevity. I don't want to be a flash in the pan. I want to continue to do good work and projects that inspire me, and if I can have fun while doing it, that's the dream.

I like to do things that are shocking or challenging for the sake of comedy.

I cannot sing karaoke because it's hard and weird. If I actually tried to sing, I would probably sound good, and I think that's weird and not fun.

I do come from a theater background, where the playwright is optimal and king and you have to serve the playwright. So I am, of course, a huge fan of scripted everything.

I am the most pious person in the room. Even though I have no pie - I have pizza, and what can be more virtuous than eating all by yourself?

Money is in some respects life's fire: it is a very excellent servant, but a terrible master.

It becomes almost second nature to be on guard against the creative pattern of our own thought.

Since when has Finland been a rotten place to live in?

The old saying that "success breeds success" has something to it. It's that feeling of confidence that can banish negativity and procrastination and get you going the right way.

All I've ever wanted to do was be a great dad, and yet there's no stopping this existential mirror that's held up to yourself when you're about to have a kid.

There is nothing pleasanter than spading when the ground is soft and damp.

Computers make excellent and efficient servants, but I have no wish to serve under them.

The problem with most intimate relationships is that they are not romantic. They do not involve a deeper knowing, and thus there is diminished possibility of sacred, transformative sharing.

Some people might think Rain is the superstar or super successful, but I am someone who always sets new goals and tries to accomplish them.
