“I'd say 80 percent of my auditions go very horribly.”
“I've not gotten so much stuff because I improvise in an audition, but I always feel like, if that's the case, the reason is because it wouldn't have worked out anyway with us working together.”
“Well, I have been in physical altercations, but they weren't really fights because I am too scared and Jewish. So anytime that it gets to a point where there is gonna be a fight, I immediately apologize.”
“My wife is an amazing mother - like, top five of all time.”
“I'm not a super nervous guy in general. I don't live a ton of my life in my head.”
“I really want to be good at what I do.”
“'The Mindy Project' was an amazing experience. I appreciated the way they treated me from day one, and the send-off was perfect, I thought.”
“I would never put my kids in front of the camera.”
“My life goal is to find a nice balance between working for money and working for fulfillment.”
“I try to do different things as much as I can. I feel like every actor, there's a limited number of tricks and go-tos. The real good stuff you can't get to unless it's something you haven't done before. So I try to make sure each thing is slightly different. Unless it's for the money. Then I don't care.”
“I have one. I may get another during the off-season, I might get my son's name but I'm not sure yet. The one I have is my Hebrew name, which I share with my grandfather, and it's not the best tattoo.”
“'Friends' started because Rachel left her husband at the altar. This likability factor is just so stupid to me. It's the same thing as 'wish-fulfillment,' which is a big word you hear in a lot of Hollywood rooms. It basically means that people want to see other people living a life they can't lead, and I don't buy that. I think that's not true.”
“My heroes were Gene Wilder, Steve Martin, and Martin Short.”
“I don't really know how to build a career or what to do. But I have the instinct to keep doing different things so people can see different things.”
“I would like to work with challenging material. A challenge is good. If it's good material; it's a challenge.”
“I think the least stereotypical gay character on television is probably Matt LeBlanc on 'Episodes.' He just plays it so straight-faced. They never talk about the fact that he's such a huge gay person.”
“I've bombed on stage millions and millions of times. And that's part of it. You go up with a half-baked idea, and you bomb, and so what? Nothing bad happens if you bomb.”
“Cole Archer's Chillout Mix. That's my son's mix. He's ten weeks old, and this is what he listens to: 'Valerie' by Amy Winehouse, 'Everyday People' by Arrested Development, The Beatles' 'Rocky Raccoon,' and Bruce Springsteen's 'Atlantic City.'”
“I don't know if you can catch my vibe, but I'm a pretty laid-back guy.”
“I'm obviously not a guy who focuses on weight too much. But for certain jobs, you have to gain or lose weight.”
