“In college, I learned that my favorite parts were the sad clown parts. Those are the ones I love because you get to do everything. You get to be funny, make them laugh one minute, and make them cry the next minute.”

“My brother and I, we were both relatively good-looking guys growing up, but we had our awkward stages, where we were just hard to look at.”

“I must have seen the 'Twlight Zone' movie, like, a thousand times.”

“I love theater. I grew up doing theater.”

“I love movies; many an afternoon skipping school were spent in a funky, run-down Brooklyn movie theater.”

“I think I approach everything as an actor first. I'd rather walk onto a set and just act and just worry about that.”

“I'm from New York, so I'm not a big driver.”

“I got to work with Ron Perlman. I've been a fan of his forever, since he was Vincent on 'Beauty and the Beast.'”

“Sometimes it takes time to become part of the collective unconscious, just like 'Fanboys' did. Going into that movie, I said to myself that if you were a 'Star Wars' fan, you were going to love that movie. It's an homage to everything science-fiction, but especially 'Star Wars.'”

“I'm a good audience in general, but it's hard to make me laugh.”

“I'm a very physical actor.”

“I love getting crazy and sweaty and wild.”

“When I was a kid, I remember thinking, 'When we reach the year 2000, everyone will have jetpacks, and it'll be like 'The Jetsons,' and we'll fly everywhere!'”

“If you're not a beautiful person, you can't do anything about it.”

“I used to have this fantasy when I was growing up where Princess Leia would be in the slave Leia costume and she would be in a vat of Breyer's ice cream. A recurring dream where I would eat my way to her.”

“I come from 'black-box' theater, where basically, you make your own adventure out of nothing.”

“'Mars Needs Moms' was motion capture, where you walk into a space that's essentially a black box with cameras everywhere. It was so technical. You have these mandibles with cameras on your face and a helmet, and you have to hit certain marks. You couldn't shoot this stuff without the green-screen aspect.”

“I had 'Star Wars' figures and G.I. Joes and Transformers and all the posters.”

“It's a fine line between magic and science. In medieval times, science was magic.”

“Well, I think a lot of people just want to be famous.”
