credit dreams far head life moments
I credit NTI, truthfully, with everything as far as where my head is and what my goals are and dreams are. I would say it was probably one of the most influential moments of my life, being there.
scariest situations
I think we all get into situations where we don't know how to proceed, and those are really the scariest moments that we have, but that's also what makes us 'grow up' and learn a lot about each other.
failed god survive
I had done one failed pilot. I remember, when it failed, I was like, 'Oh my God, how does someone survive this? That's it - that's the end of my career; it's over.'

Luckily, I have two of the coolest parents around. They're so open about having any and all experiences, so they never hindered us in any way by categorizing or judging anything.

I think that whether you're married or not, in any relationship, there's always the terror that you're going to screw something up.

I taught English in Costa Rica before I went to college. I'm not an especially outdoorsy guy, but sometimes I would spot wildlife while whitewater rafting or walking in the rainforest at 5 A.M.

I've made a lot of mistakes in my life. And I'm really sensitive, so I take even small mistakes as huge ones.
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.

Directing was a great experience, but it's terrifying to have the responsibility of carving up the other actors' performances.

For me, 'Arrested Development' is the cornerstone of recent television comedy. It's so incredibly flawless and perfect.

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.

My parents and my brothers and their wives are incredible and formed me as a person long before I got to Hollywood.
huge indie kids
I was one of those kids who had never seen an indie film before I got to college. If it wasn't a big, huge tentpole movie, or if it wasn't on the radio, I hadn't experienced it.
beginnings brown taken
I had never taken acting at Brown to be the beginnings of a career. I always did it just for fun.
