ease feeling grunt love pick
I love feeling strong. You pick up your daughter with ease while everyone else makes a little grunt when they pick up their kids.
classics god guy hemingway huge love
I'm a huge classics fan. I love Ernest Hemingway and J.D. Salinger. I'm that guy who rereads a book before I read newer stuff, which is probably not all that progressive, and it's not really going to make me a better reader. I'm like, 'Oh, my God, you should read To Kill a Mockingbird.'
admire anybody avoid george sucks superpower
I admire him so much; if I was ever going to have a dude-crush, it would be on George Clooney. I mean, I don't think you can avoid it. It's like a superpower - he just sucks anybody in around him.
emotional laughing long
There's not swelling music and emotional scenes in life, and there's not long pauses when you tell a joke for everybody to laugh. That's not how it goes. Life just sort of happens to you.
complex looking
I'm not looking to do 'Half Nelson' next, but to play anything that's a little more complex is really fun.
among centre few hit home humans large legendary newton oak park playground
There's a large oak tree in the Newton Centre park playground that is legendary because only a few humans have hit it with a baseball from home plate, and B.J. Novak is among them. And I was there that day.
continue experience learning relationships
All relationships are a learning experience, even ones you continue to be in. If you don't see them as that, then that's a problem.
honest being-honest
Let's be honest, there are a lot of family movies; I like some of them, I don't like other ones.
credits waiter wednesday work
By being a waiter 100 percent, I think I was a lot like any other actor in New York. I had credits because I'd work lunches during the week, and then on a Wednesday would go be lucky enough to be in a movie like 'Kinsey.'
senior sports teacher
The first acting thing I ever did was my senior year I decided not to play a sport in the Spring and, in that Spring B.J. Novak who went to school with me, asked if I'd be in this show that was a parody of all the teachers in the school, 'sure!' That was the first acting thing I did.
trophies like-you accomplished
Trophies and medals have never meant much to me. I've had amazing experiences, which let you feel like you've accomplished something.
bunnies bugs
I've never been compared to Bugs Bunny and that's amazing, thank you.
successful winning world
There's the push and pull you put on yourself and the push and pull the world puts on you. Most of the time, the world's going to win out, because it's just logical that you should be more successful and more motivated. You can always be more.
teacher college one-day
I wanted to be an English teacher. I wanted to do it for the corduroy jackets with patches on the side. When I got to college, as I was walking across campus one day, I ripped off a little flyer for this sketch-comedy group. It ended up being one of the greatest things I've ever done.
