guy sort
I'm that sort of weird guy who will watch a movie almost every day if I can.
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.
allow held jobs studio waiter yoga
I held down as many jobs as I could find, from being a waiter to working at a yoga studio and as a ticket-taker at a small theater company - anything that would allow me to go out and do auditions.
considered george sex work
I don't think I'll ever be comfortable being considered a sex symbol, especially after you work with someone like George Clooney.
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.'
allow best learned major rehearsal scene whether work
I learned that the best way to work is to allow the scene to live on its own before making major adjustments, whether in rehearsal or on film.
anyone form incredibly
Hearing anyone think that I'm any form of sexy or handsome is incredibly flattering.
definitely good people sure time
I definitely had fun being a waiter. I can't say for sure that I was a good waiter. I think that I made people have a good time.
certainly dark david dominance english foster greatest honest language last moments obvious twenty writers
David Foster Wallace, in my opinion, is one of the greatest writers we've ever had, certainly in the last twenty years. His obvious dominance of the English language is partnered with honest moments and the most beautifully dark sensibility.
'The Office' is not one of those things you move away from. I don't want it to go away.
business
It's tough to live in New York and be in the business.
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.
incredibly looks notice people work
It looks like I've been smart about it, but truly, I've been incredibly lucky to have the right people notice me and want to work with me.
analogy buy deserve enjoy funny hollywood shake snow time
It's funny: I've always had the analogy of a snow globe, that Hollywood is a snow globe. No, it's true. If you shake it up, you can look at it and really enjoy it. But don't ever go in. Don't ever buy into it and be like, 'I deserve all of this!' because it can go away at any time, so just have a lot of fun.
