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.

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

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 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.

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

I don't really get recognized.

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.

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

I should probably never describe myself as adorable.

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

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.
