Being a Lions fan is like being a Cubs fan: you just have to keep going. You don't have a choice. You can't give up, because one day, when it happens - and I believe it'll happen - then you can really savor it because you were there in the doldrums, and you get to be there in the victory.
I was raised Catholic, so guilt shackles you from acting like a complete fool all the time.
I'm a great consumer of kung-fu movies - mid-'70s to late-'80s.
I'm trying every day, when I meet a new human being, to not have the first thought that comes into my mind be, 'Are they going to like me?' I'm allowed to say, 'I like this, and I don't like that.'
At times, I can be vocal about what I think people want to hear as opposed to being vocal about what I really feel.
I'm looking for human stories to do.
I'm a firm believer in the idea that there are a limited amount of human stories that we tell - there's about seven of them - and of course, there's variations on those stories, and they can take place in infinite places.
Some of the friendliest, friendliest people you're going to meet are going to be in Detroit.
I would like to invest more of my brain space in understanding the history of my city, because whenever I learn about the history of Detroit, it's always so fascinating, from a little kind of beaver-trading post to the place where automobiles were manufactured.
It's when you're true to yourself that resonates with other people.
With a lot of my comedic heroes, I'm trying to make sure that, wherever they might have gotten off-track a bit, I've learned that lesson.
The immediacy of improvisation is intoxicating, but there's an intimacy that you get that's very different when you're doing drama.
Success isn't measured by the amount of people that watch you unless you allow it to be.
I would play just about any role, male or female, in the Anton Chekov play 'The Cherry Orchard,' which I love.
I would love to play a fun character. Like, I would love to be in 'A Long Day's Journey Into Night.' I love that play. I'd play Edmond or Jamie. I don't care which.
I don't know if people would be surprised by this or not, but I'm kind of into nutrition and weight lifting. I know I'm kind of a slender man, but the human physique fascinates me, and learning about metabolism.
I'm very, very, very interested in martial arts.
I'm from the Midwest, so I always assumed, 'Well, I have to think badly of myself, because that's being humble.'
I want to make movies and pieces of television and pieces of art that crack everyone's assumptions.
We live in a gray world, and I want to tell gray stories.
