“When I run in the morning, my body spends the first 20 minutes trying to figure out what's happening to it.”

“Yoga helps me be a stronger runner. I can lose track of my form, and yoga reminds me how important it is.”

“I think in many ways, I'm sort of a blank canvas, because in many ways, I'm just observing the world and the people around me and their characters and letting them kind of explode off me and to find out why they're doing what they're doing. But then every once in awhile, I get to take on a whole new character.”

“I'm a huge, huge sports fan, and Marquette basketball is my No. 1 thing.”

“Stereotypes happen. I try not to embrace them or avoid them.”

“Thankfully, I was able to go to Marquette University and get my education, a Catholic education, so I could please my family, because I think they wanted me to be a priest.”

“I'm not gonna be able to grow a beard. I've realized my limitations as a human.”

“My mom put me in dance classes when I was 5 years old.”

“My job is to focus on bringing characters to life in an honest and personal way.”

“When I run barefoot, I put my shoes on my hands. Running around with shoe-hands looks a little weird.”

“I ran track in high school. I was a fragile young man, personally and physically. I tried football. That didn't work out; I broke my collarbone. But I always loved running.”

“I'm a non-confrontational person. If I order salmon and I get chicken, I'm going to eat the chicken.”
