I’m not gay, and I’m not a superhero.
It’s definitely nerve-racking to be the center of attention. I’m not the kind of an actor that just craves attention 24-7 – but it’s part of the deal. You’re the leader on the set.
Whether it’s Paris Hilton or Kim Kardashian or whoever, stupidity is certainly celebrated.
The difference between directing film and directing television is so stark simply because TV is a living breathing organism already when you direct an episode.
I got into acting because my teachers kept nudging me into it. The power a teacher has to influence someone is so great. I can’t think of a profession I have more respect for.
I’m not a cheater. I’ve never cheated in my life.
Acting is sort of an extension of childhood. You get to play all of these roles and have so much fun. Playing an athlete would be so cool. Or where you get to shoot guns, ride horses. I wouldn’t turn down any of that.
I’ve always been a fan of advertising, I’ve always been a fan of television, I’ve loved commercials, I’ve loved all the jingles, I loved all the stuff.
I’m able to leave Don Draper at work. I’m quite dissimilar from him in real life.
I think that we live in a moment in time where people have a lot of information about a lot of people kind of instantly, but it’s all sort of surface information and it doesn’t really mean anything.
I don’t need to be married, but I feel married.
I don’t necessarily want kids. A lot of our friends are having children and I don’t know if it’s for me. I haven’t come down hardcore on either side of the argument. I think when people come from a stable family having children becomes a celebration and I’m not sure it would be that way for me.
I don’t have any sort of calculus in choosing film roles.
Point me to 50 people online who think I’m super sexy. I’ll point you to 50 more who say he’s old and looks like my dad.
It’s such a capricious, strange existence, basing your life on the whims of others, and basing your ebbs and flows of confidence and lack of confidence on the fact that people either choose you or don’t.
When I was a little kid, I kind of liked the commercials more than a lot of the stuff on TV. My favorite ones were the Miller Lite ads with all the jocks in them. “Tastes great, less filling.”
People go through different stages of their lives at different times. If you’re out of sync with your friend group, that gets exploded once everyone starts having kids because they just have to deal with different stuff that you don’t really relate to.
I’ve been surrounded by dogs my whole life. I got a golden retriever a year after I was born.
It’s nice, when the lights come up at the end of the movie, to not be like, “What did I just watch?”
Time moves on. You can’t go back in time. Everything has a consequence, and the last episode of the last season is no exception.
