Words are a lens to focus one's mind.
I love doing sitcoms and I love performing in front of a live audience, so [Payne] was a really fun experience.
I'm fortunate that I've been an athlete, my whole life, and I work out like a crazy person.
It was fun to play that surreal high school life [in Jawbreaker]. I was a huge fan of the movie Heathers. But I think at the time - you know, when the movie was released, it was a very limited release, and it didn't do very well at the box office. And I love the fact that it has found legs and that the audience has kept growing and growing over the years.

I love the fans of genre. Genre fans are the best fans. They're loyal, they're dedicated, and they're passionate about the projects. They get it on a cerebral level. Being a part of that culture and that world. . . It's very gratifying and very fulfilling.
I've had a career where I've bounced around a lot between different genres, and I feel very lucky and very blessed that that's happened to me.

I want to go beyond that and try to share what I think my gift is and that is we all have this gift of choice. We just don't sometimes realize we have that choice.
On the river path in Boston beauty was most expressed as youth and intelligence. That made sense; sixty degree-giving institutions, some three hundred thousand students; that meant at least one hundred fifty thousand more nubile young women than demographics would ordinarily suggest. Maybe that was why young men stayed in Boston when their college years were over, maybe that explained why they were so intellectually hyperactive, so frustrated, so alcoholic, such terrible drivers.
Who says that actors are cattle? Show me a cow who can earn a million dollars a film.
