The truest state of humanity is that you're living for other people.

I was living in New York City and flat broke. My next door neighbor was an actor and he always seemed to be having more fun than I was. He convinced me to give acting a shot, but because of my shyness I was sure it would be a lost cause.

Learning what you don't want to do is pretty valuable, it may be as valuable as figuring out what it is you do want to do.

I don't like cruises. Period. My biggest nightmare is being stuck on a boat.

I wasn't a big science fiction aficionado, there were a few films like 2001 or Blade Runner that were favorites of mine, but since I started this series I have gained more respect for the genre and become more of a fan myself.

I think what kind of destroyed the franchise, in some ways, was ego and vanity. When that element of ego and vanity that's sitting there in the franchise right now gets pushed aside, I think the whole thing could be re-tooled. I think it's the type of franchise that has years in it, and has lots of legs.

At one point in college I was so shy that I'd drop out of a class if asked to speak in front of other people.

After graduating from college I worked at a variety of jobs, from banking to politics. I enjoyed whatever I was doing at the time but I didn't love my work.

If I'm going to fly for more than twenty feet it's generally a good idea to get a stunt guy.
