My mom was an aesthetician and she went to beauty school back in the '60s. I just remember watching her do her makeup all the time. She always had her nails done, makeup on - her face was ready to go when she went out. I loved it.
I look at my father. He is one of my heroes. He is such an incredible, classy man. He was such a great father and such a great husband in so many ways, and we lived through some pretty tough times losing my mom. When I see all that he did, I think, Wow, thats a really wonderful man.
I have a theory that most people in Hollywood are from Texas.
I got an Apple TV and hooked it up right away. Undeniably, this is the way of the future, period. It just is, and that's cool. What's cool about this is that we got to do something so playful, cool, kick-ass and over-the-top.
I love doing voice-over. It's so fun.
I tell the most horrible jokes.
I generally circuit train and do Pilates.
Acting is not glamorous. It's not. Anybody who wants to get into acting for the glamour is in for a hard time.
We have this idea of perfection that is so unrealistic. We are our own worst enemy. No one is noticing that little scar.
I can celebrate food anytime. I love cheese. When I crave a certain food, I just eat it.
Most actors want to sink their teeth into amazing material.
My elbows are double-jointed, so I can flip them inside out.
When you have confidence, that's what becomes attractive to other people and makes them want to work with you and spend time with you.
The beauty of voice-over work is that maybe you come in and record once every two weeks for a couple of hours and do a couple episodes a session. It's awesome! You spend an afternoon playing in the booth, and there you have it. It doesn't interfere with much.
