The one thing about being a parent is the ability to be selfless: To give up the things you want and need for the benefit of someone else.

My first job was at an amusement park in Virginia. It was the worst. I loved the park but once I'd worked there all the magic was gone from it. It just turned into a place I hated and I've never been there since.

I've always had the hair of Lionel Ritchie since I was a boy, but the mullet sadly is a hairpiece. My wife won't let me rock that hairstyle.

I can't even remember not wanting to go to film school.

So I just came out here to Los Angeles with a bunch of buddies I had gone to film school with. You know, for better or worse, we just tried to slug it out here.

I went to film school so I have a writing and directing background, and I think a lot of the material I'm interested in writing and getting out there is stories about anti-heroes and people you should just not ordinarily root for - trying to figure out a way of appealing to people they wouldn't normally appeal to.

As an actor, you don't want to be typecast, because Hollywood is so quick to put you in things that you've succeeded in before.

In my school, people liked the gym teachers because they were the football or soccer coaches. But look, if they're cool, they get respect.

Confidence and a good sense of humor can usually win a chick over.

I had a classic gym teacher in junior high who wore a weightlifter's belt all the time.
