You know, I endeavor to be more like my older brother. He’s very magnetic. He’s actually very much like ‘Castle’ in that people are attracted to him, and just want to be near him. You want to know where my brother is in a crowded room? He’s the guy with the crowd around him.
I still buy actual books. The smell, having it in your hands – there’s really no substitute.
I think I’ve been really good at surrounding myself with really talented people. I’ve picked the right coattails to ride on.
I’m a plethora of stolen jokes and kitschy references.
In all my characters, I try to find an iota of myself, and in Castle, I found a lot. He gets away with a lot, so that’s fun.
Basically, after an ABC sitcom I did, I ended up with a holding deal with 20th Century Fox. Absolutely cool. It pays you to be unemployed. And the bigger the entity that gives you the deal, the better.
I think people imagine that I have about five scripts sitting in front of me and I say, ‘I think I’m going to go with the super hero thing and after that I’ll wrap it up with some more sci-fi and then do a romantic comedy.’ But it doesn’t quite work out that way.
I had an Indiana Jones fedora that I loved. I don’t know what happened to it. I don’t know where it went. Wish I had it back. Whoever’s got it, you suck.
Thank God there is a such thing as hiatus. We got the first ‘Dr. Horrible’ done in six days, we banged it out.
I enjoy the art, and I enjoy drawing. I think my printing to this day looks like the printing right out of a comic book.
My brain is like a hard drive. Once you start adding new information, you start cutting off old information.
I like to say there’s certain things you can’t take back: One of them is ‘I love you,’ and one of them is bullets.
When I was a waiter I was fired twice from the same restaurant. I guess I was that good of an actor but that bad of a waiter.
I want to be a working actor; I want to do jobs that excite me and challenge me, and I want to something fun.
No one wants to see a person on TV who’s super-ultra-cool. That’s Superman, that’s a thing of the past. Heroes are now flawed, and have terrible tempers, you know? They’re real people.
I have a lightsaber at my front door for home protection. I have an 800-watt electric skateboard that I use to run errands in my neighborhood. It can go about six, seven miles, so depending on how much time I have, and how much I have to carry home, I’ll take it really far. I love that thing.
My job changes very little because I’ve found that the more you try to be funny, the less funny you become.
I’m comfortable only when there’s a mutual attraction. That’s what anyone wants. If I find out she’s not attracted to me, it brings down my level of attraction to her. If I’m interested and find out she’s not, I tend to cool off.
The Incredibles was the best movie ever made. Ever. Made. BSTL.
I’ve always fantasized about being on TV. And I was. Then I fantasized about being in the movies. What could be better than captain of a space ship? I get to ride horses, shoot guns, have adventures.
