“I don't believe in strong-arming people.”

“My whole background, my whole life was just lots and lots of theater, a lot of that being musical theater.”

“On a personal level, I love the idea of hosting an awards show. I think that sounds like kind of a fun thing to do.”

“There has been a kind of stereotypical 'gamer dude' that has been representative for the gamer community in the years past. But I want to spearhead or be a part of changing that.”

“Being nerdy just means being passionate about something, including everyone - the coolest people on Earth are passionate and therefore nerdy about something whatever it is, whether it's sports, or gaming, or technology, or fashion, or beauty, or food, or whatever.”

“Oh I've done bungee jumping. Skydiving, I have motorcycles that I ride. I'm a little bit of an adrenaline junkie in that way.”

“'Aladdin' was probably my favorite Disney animation when I was a kid. The animation was great and Robin Williams was unbelievable as the Genie.

“If I have my way, I want to go start making really interactive television. Stuff where you can sit and watch real actors do a real series and they can get into some kind of gun battle and all of a sudden your television prompts you to pick up your controller and all of a sudden, you're playing a first-person shooter.”

“I'm totally a geek.”

“A lot of people, especially Christians, want to put you in this box of being a Christian actor, and I don't believe in it.

“I'm a huge Disney nut. I have been since I was a little kid.”

“I'm a 'Lost' guy, I love 'Lost.'”

“I mean, I like to consider myself a reasonably athletic guy.”

“I'll watch a Pixar movie over and over and over again. I'll be with friends of mine who have kids, that want to watch 'Finding Nemo,' and I'm like, 'Yeah, okay, let's watch 'Nemo' again, for the seven billionth time!,' because they're amazing movies.”

“I want to go create my own independent content and entertainment, in new models and in new ways, and essentially show studios and networks that people are good.”
