I find that the best way into things is to open my heart up to it and allow it to be as truthful and honest as I can be, and I can make it. It's hard to do that it's hard to open yourself up to something.

I never get to wear a suit in my life, much less a tuxedo. It's kind of really fun to get to dress up, because you take yourself a little more seriously if you dress nice in a starched shirt.

It's the writers' job to make it positive. It's my job to make it real.

A month before graduation I got an off-Broadway job. Then I did some commercials, including one for MCI. You can only see half of me, but it paid well. Thank God for commercials.

I should probably never describe myself as adorable.

I am too tall [to dance]. Tall people don’t dance. It’s just not right.

Not even my excellent training at Juilliard prepared me for my first movie role, where I played a transsexual who falls in love with a military guy in 'Soldier's Girl.

I don't really get recognized.

I dream about having a house by the water and not doing anything, not feeling ambitious, nor having the need to make money.

I actually love Twitter, but I don't ... I never know what to ... I get a lot of my news from Twitter. But, I never ... I sometimes just don't think ... I think Twitter is full of a lot of talkers and not many listeners, so I'm happy to be one of the listeners.

With TV, you have so much to get done during the day that you don't really have a lot of time to feel your way through it. I know before I walk on the set exactly what I'm going to do. With film you can kind of find your way in it a little more, play with it some.

I was that 'awkward-didn't-understand-his body-kind of-uncomfortable teen.'

I tried surfing once in Brazil, but I'm kind of clumsy.
