“You can tell when someone is just trying to use you. It becomes just someone who's hanging around. Whenever someone sucks up to me, it never goes anywhere because I'm too boring a guy.”

“I think it's good to have a nice, healthy group of people all doing different things. A lot of my friends don't even work in Hollywood; they just happen to live in L.A.”

“The script for 'In Good Company' was the first one I ever showed my dad.”

“The 30-year-old male is about as far away from Valentine's Day as you can get in the human experience.”

“It's kind of like, I love doing tons of different things. The only thing I hate is not being in ensembles.”

“The script is a blueprint for the film - there are very few bad scripts that make good movies. If you really like the character and understand the utility it serves within the movie, that's a part of my process.”

“I'm very social. It's just most of my friends are not actors.”

“I'm not a comedian, but I love the comedians who know when to get off the stage.”

“That's the best thing about being an actor. If you're in a baseball movie, you walk away knowing way more about baseball, or if you're in a sci-fi film, you learn way more about Comic-Con, and so I loved all that.”

“The great thing about a sitcom is that you're in front of a live audience, so you really get in touch with what audience reaction is, but also there are lots of elements of film that you're dealing with, and there's kind of a great boot camp or graduate school mentality to it, because you're going to suck.”

“I really loved when I started doing '70s Show,' though I had never acted before, so it was a great training ground being on a sitcom.”

“I have a rule that I won't Google my own name.”

“I would be a terrible director, I could never write anything. One of my great strengths is that I know all of my weaknesses.”

“I'm not just friends with fellow actors, but I find that a lot of people are out here in L.A. I go out of my way to make sure that's not the case, but I do have a lot of friends who are actors.”

“My dad was a businessman, and he would say, 'Work for free at the best company. Don't get paid a lot of money to work with the worst people.' And that's exactly how I see my career.”

“The whole acting thing is a buffet. One, in terms of role choice and movie choice, I like to do lots of different things, and I think that's the whole fun of it. But I also see it as a buffet in terms of the character.”

“I don't talk about my personal life with the press.”

“My folks still live in my childhood home, and so when I'm home with them, I usually feel the best.”

“I have a really dry sense of humor. I don't think it's funny when people wink at the camera. That's more of an actor thing, just committing to whatever the thing is.”

“I do have a concern about projecting. I've never projected or had any reason to project before. In fact, the camera has only gotten closer to me going from TV to film.”
