I was born in California. When I was six, we moved to a small town in northern Indiana called Mishawaka.

At the end of whatever we're doing, I always feel like I want to go back and start over again because now I have a better sense of what it is. I feel that with everything. Like, if you're doing like a long run of a play and you're doing it seven shows a week, at the end of it, I want to go back and start from the beginning.

In the military, you learn the essence of people. You see so many examples of self-sacrifice and moral courage. In the rest of life you don't get that many opportunities to be sure of your friends.

Acting is a business and a political act and a craft, but I also feel like it's a service - specifically, for a military audience.

I originally passed on 'Girls' because I thought TV was evil.

I always think back to the original movies and to those quieter moments where Luke is out in A New Hope, and there are the two suns setting. It is the equivalent, basically, of a farm boy dying to get out of his small town and do something bigger. It's those kinds of universal themes that ground this whole thing in space.

I always found something strangely paternal about the director-actor relationship. Actors want so much approval.

It was very clear to me I wanted to be an actor when I got out into civilian life.

I think it's possible to be free in a big production. It's the eye of the director and the actor and the story.

I'm conflicted with theater in the city because you want to reach a diverse audience, and that audience doesn't typically go to the theater.

It's hard to kill that father-son bond.

Acting, to me, has been many things: It's a business, and it's a craft, and it's a political act - it's whatever adjective is most applicable.

Girls' feels very active and stirring a conversation and controversial, and you can't really ask for more as an actor.

I loved being in the Marine Corps, I loved my job in the Marine Corps, and I loved the people I served with. It's one of the best things I've had a chance to do.

Juilliard definitely emphasizes the theater. They don't train - at all really - for film acting. It's mostly process-oriented, pretty much for the stage.

I don't have cable. I just never watched a lot of TV.

I actually run a non-profit where one of the main objectives is to branch out and get a new audience for the theater. Just because the writing is so good and nothing is more effective than seeing something live and happening right in front of your face, so I definitely want to continue to pursue that.

Emphasis in the Marine Corps isn't on talking about your feelings.

I mean, I did plays in high school, but I was convinced you couldn't make a living doing it.

The Marine Corps is some of the best acting training you could have. Having that responsibility for people's lives, suddenly time becomes a really valuable commodity and you want to make the most of it. And for acting, you just have to do the work, just keep doing it.
