It is strange when you're a loser in college, which I was, to then get your own show.
Working on 'Lonely, I'm Not' - I love the material so much, and it's spring in New York, so I'm walking home whistling every day.
I really loved when I started doing '70s Show,' though I had never acted before, so it was a great training ground being on a sitcom.
The great thing about a sitcom is that you're in front of a live audience, so you really get in touch with what audience reaction is, but also there are lots of elements of film that you're dealing with, and there's kind of a great boot camp or graduate school mentality to it, because you're going to suck.
The whole acting thing is a buffet. One, in terms of role choice and movie choice, I like to do lots of different things, and I think that's the whole fun of it. But I also see it as a buffet in terms of the character.
I worked at Suncoast Video for two years during the summer in high school.
I don't want to be an editor! I don't want to direct; I'd be a horrible director. I don't want to write - I have a 'story by' credit on one film I did. And I don't want to edit at all.
The script for 'In Good Company' was the first one I ever showed my dad.
I certainly like working harder than a lot of my peers. The trick is embracing it.
That's the best thing about being an actor. If you're in a baseball movie, you walk away knowing way more about baseball, or if you're in a sci-fi film, you learn way more about Comic-Con, and so I loved all that.
The script is a blueprint for the film - there are very few bad scripts that make good movies. If you really like the character and understand the utility it serves within the movie, that's a part of my process.
I do like any kind of project that has both comedy and drama in it because in life you don't have one day where everything is funny then the next day everything is dramatic.
I don't talk about my personal life with the press.
Most of my freshman year at USC, I'd just been partying, and I had zero direction.
I'm very social. It's just most of my friends are not actors.
My dad was a businessman, and he would say, 'Work for free at the best company. Don't get paid a lot of money to work with the worst people.' And that's exactly how I see my career.
Sometimes I get mad when I think that I only have maybe 40 or 50 more springs in New York. When I miss one, 'cause I'm on location for a film, I wanna go, 'That's it, that just cost me one of my 50!'
I have a rule that I won't Google my own name.
I'm not a comedian, but I love the comedians who know when to get off the stage.
It's hard to understand the films that you're in, because you never truly get to see them.
