Chivalry is not dead and you should be a gentleman. But if you are going to buy a girl a drink, buy it. Don’t just offer it. Follow through.
What made me feel empowered was the gun, not the clothes. Like if I had the gun, it didn’t matter what your size was, what your stature was.
Five inches of snow in five inch heels, you can’t look sexy and you can’t look like you know what you’re doing because you’re fall.
When it’s a comedy or drama or horror or romance, it’s all the same. You want to be honest with the character. You want to play truthfully and you want to be genuine with your character.
I have this odd tendency to be really sarcastic when I’m uncomfortable and I don’t really know why but it just comes out and it’s come out since I was a child.
I am not a person of nature. I love to think of myself as one, but I’ve never even gone camping.
I don’t believe in perfection. I don’t think it exists.
I make myself laugh all the time. I think I’m really funny. I do.
People strive to achieve a certain form of perfection constantly and it’s impossible because it’s a form of opinion. I can think someone is pretty but the person next to me can think that they’re unattractive.
I think sadly in any industry and in any work related environments females always strive to achieve a certain amount of perfection whether they be skinny or pretty. It’s constant in our society.
It took me five months to lose twenty pounds and it took me hours to gain it back. I mean it was magical how quickly it all happened. Going back to my poor eating habits after having really good eating habits my stomach was a little unsettled.
I think you can get away with so much more offensiveness when you’re operating behind a stuffed teddy bear or a cartoon or something that’s not real, because it’s forgiven. It’s like having a little kid in a movie curse – it’s funny because it’s not natural.
I didn’t get the Russian Jew part because they didn’t think I looked Russian or Jewish enough – and, mind you, I am both Russian and Jewish – so I was cast as the racist Mexican.
I was actually a pretty good student. My problem was that I didn’t know what I wanted to study.
The fact that there is no right or wrong is what I think is maddening. I can think you’re a phenomenal actor, but the guy next door can think you’re a horrible actor, and neither of us is wrong and neither of us is right. It’s just a matter of opinion.
I actually live a very mediocre lifestyle. So I decided to step back and do things not just for the sake of doing them, but because I believe in them and I want to do them.
Honestly, after doing a TV show for eight years and a cartoon for more than a decade, you are, financially speaking, in a very lucky position where you don’t have to work for the sake of working. And I decided to take advantage of that.
I feel like every role you take, there’s a part of you that obviously feels like you can do it.
You always want to challenge yourself and work with people you respect. You can’t always go by genres, but it’s always fun to challenge yourself.
It’s very possible that I could look like a kleptomaniac and a pathological liar and that’s why I keep getting hired.
My nickname when I was young was Teddy, so people would call me Teddy Bear.
