“Reading is a heady thing. You can be into the action of someone's thoughts and take a whole trip down someone's ruminations while seconds tick by in the world that they're in, but you can't really do that in film.”
“I'm a geeky actor, in the way that I like the craft of acting.”
“I can tan. I get tannish. It's not really tan, it's tannish. That kind of color.”
“I did a stint on 'Dollhouse,' and prior to my stint on 'Dollhouse,' I had no plans to be working with Joss Whedon until he said, 'Hey, do you want to do this?' When he calls, I'll pick up the phone, and that's how that works.”
“I had a role in 'DodgeBall,' where I played a pirate who played dodge ball. I'd say 80 to 90 percent of my lines were 'Garrr' or 'Arghh.' And it was all about what the quality of your 'Grr-arr' was.”
“What's casual for a robot isn't necessarily what's casual for a human.”
“I think I once went three or four years without doing a play, and I almost lost my mind, then I came back and did 'Spamalot.'”
“I'm very interested in Comedia dell'Arte.”
“I don't get dressed up as the character to go audition.”
“If something makes me laugh really hard, it sticks in my head or my heart or somewhere inside me.”
“Whedon changed my life.”
“If you're playing a character who says whatever he wants, I felt free to say whatever I wanted on set.”
“I'd love to work with Jed Whedon on 'S.H.I.E.L.D.'”
“It was fun working with Will Smith; it was fun working with Alex Proyas, who is another sci-fi guy with 'Dark City.'”
“I'm just thinking I'm just like a normal actor who gets scripts, and I read them, and... if I enjoy reading them, then that's what's exciting, then I get excited about the audition or the project itself.”
“That's the great thing about Comic Con - people are so accepting of one another.”
“You know those people in life who are a bit eccentric and larger than life or a bit odd? That their realm of possibility around them is larger than somebody who's called normal? What's normal for an oddball? They could start screaming in public. That's fun to play.”
“I don't wear jewelry, as a man.”
“I'm not a big horror movie fan. I am afraid of them; they scare me.”
“I'd much rather play Batman's cousin than Batman. That's more of my speed.”
