“I can tell more about my weaknesses than my strengths.”
“Writers are so important.”
“I'm conflicted with theater in the city because you want to reach a diverse audience, and that audience doesn't typically go to the theater.”
“In the Marine Corps, everything had a purpose.”
“I was born in California. When I was six, we moved to a small town in northern Indiana called Mishawaka.”
“Just having the internet is a weird and dangerous thing because people become accustomed to knowing things when they want to know them and not having to work for it. I definitely see the value in not knowing everything and having mystery in life and mystery in people.”
“You always read stories of people going out to California and making it as an actor with, like, two dollars, so I figured I'd try it.”
“There were definitely dark nights when you're like, 'Maybe joining the military wasn't such a good idea.' But, in a way, it was the best training to be an actor.”

“When you get out of the Marine Corps, you feel like you can do anything.”

“I used to eat a whole chicken, every day, for lunch. I did that for four years. But it got tiring - go to the store, buy it, eat it. It's a mess.”
“I don't have cable. I just never watched a lot of TV.”
“When I read for 'Girls,' I was like, 'The script says 'Handsome Carpenter,' so someone else is going to get the part. They'll have someone handsome, not me.'”
“I want to show that theater isn't just talking about feelings or people wearing tights.”
