I have such awful skin; it doesn't matter what magic serum they think they're putting on - I'll usually break out.
I would love to do more theatre, musicals... everything.
It's so rare to get all of your muscles firing at once. That's what I look for in any role.
'Me' time is just as important as 'us' time.
On red carpets, as people throw questions at you, you try and answer as quickly as possible.
I broke my finger in a stunt in a very not-too-romantic way. I was just trying to tackle someone, and I just flicked his forearm and then screamed in pain.
I was never much of a musical theater guy, but I have so much more respect for the art form, the physical exertion of doing eight shows on Broadway a week, I cannot even fathom it.
If I had let myself off the hook in college, I could have enjoyed myself a lot more. Knowing that I can't have those years back, I have learned to get the most out of living in the now.
When I'm kissing someone, I don't want to feel as though I'm rubbing off all the makeup that's on their face or messing things around. I think natural is better.
When you feel like an oddball, it never really leaves you. Even now, I'm better around people who are uncomfortable with themselves - the misfits.
'Star Trek' is about a bunch of disparate people and what they're capable of when they work together.
What kind of woman am I attracted to? Really? Can I just say I like what most human beings want?
I have no control over what people think, and if I were to spend energy on that, I would be a lifeless, deadened human being.
From Drew Barrymore to Robert Downey Jr., there's a long list of people who have faced their troubles, wildly overcome them, and succeeded.
