“I got fired from being a lunch-shift bartender because I had a reading of a play.”

“I admire him so much; if I was ever going to have a dude-crush, it would be on George Clooney. I mean, I don't think you can avoid it. It's like a superpower - he just sucks anybody in around him.”

“I'm that sort of weird guy who will watch a movie almost every day if I can.”

“There's a large oak tree in the Newton Centre park playground that is legendary because only a few humans have hit it with a baseball from home plate, and B.J. Novak is among them. And I was there that day.”
