“Who knew Rob Lowe was funny? On 'Parks and Rec,' we've got some of the funniest comedy writers, some of the funniest comedians in the world working there. And if anything, we don't just effuse to one another and be like, 'Oh, Rob Lowe's really funny,' if he wasn't.”
“It's interesting - I always thought when I was doing more melodramatic stuff like 'Everwood' that the directors were constantly reeling me in and stopping me from being funny.”
“I primarily have had my career in comedy, and that is something that I have never been too concerned about because I know there is really no room for vanity in comedy. Comedy comes from pain and it is a lot easier to empathize with somebody who is out of shape.”
“Both 'OC' and 'Everwood,' there were people on set where you learned to stay away from them on a bad day.”
“When you're doing a TV show, it's not like you just shoot for six weeks and you're in an editing room with all of your footage. It's like a guitar or a car, you have to fine tune things. You stop doing what's not working, you work on what is working and you add things that do work.”
“Just be comfortable with who you are.”
“Just be yourself and forget all of the stuff you read in 'GQ' magazine.”
“I went from 220 pounds that I cut down for 'Moneyball' to almost 270-280 pounds for 'Ten Year.'”
“Some people fast, some people go on a cruise or visit a day spa. I get out in the woods with a rifle or a bow. That's my release.”
“There's nothing funnier than a giant, grown man rollerblading.”
“Celebrity is intoxicating.”
“I have a pet lizard named Puff, five goldfish - named Pinky, Brain, Jowels, Pearl and Sandy, an oscar fish named Chef, two pacus, an albino African frog named Whitey, a bonsai tree, four Venus flytraps, a fruit fly farm and sea monkeys.”
“I was an athlete growing up and I miss that. I miss hanging out with dudes and making raunchy jokes and telling stories, trading details, you know? There's something I really miss about that.”
“If one day someone came up to me and was like, 'Look, you're never going to act again,' I don't know what I would do.”
“I lose my cell phone so much that I switch it every month or so, but Sony Ericsson is usually what I use.”
“I'm still fighting really hard to get any role I get. If it's comedy, I go for the laughs. And if it's drama, I try to tell the truth, and try to play the real stakes of whatever scenario the character's in.”
“I like to do 'Garfield Mondays': lasagna and napping in a box.”
“'Ten Year' was probably - I might say 'Ten Year' was my favorite filming experience of anything I ever worked on. It was totally different from 'Moneyball' in that it was a small budget, independent movie. It had a giant ensemble of actors, all of whom were basically working for free.”
“I was an athlete growing up. I was a wrestler, I played football, so I can take a fall. I actually wanted to be a stuntman when I was kid, so I would practice falling down the stairs. It's just something I like to do.”
“Television is such an evolving medium. When you're doing a TV show, it's not like you just shoot for six weeks and you're in an editing room with all of your footage. It's like a guitar or a car, you have to fine tune things. You stop doing what's not working, you work on what is working and you add things that do work.”
