When I'm in the car sometimes it's like, 'Yeah, man, just put on the pop music.' You know what I mean? I don't want to listen to Tom Waits.

No offense to the other people that we work with, but we spend 14-hour days with each other. You're dying for some sort of new rhythm to play with and another person to have fun with. It's like, Oh, I can't wait to hang out with Zoe Lister Jones today and not deal with that Jake Johnson.

I think L.A. gets a bad rap. L.A. is the same as everywhere else.

I love Twitter. My favorite thing to do these days is to Tweet things that seem very questionable as to whether I’m joking or not.

If you knew my wife, you'd be like, Yeah, you're very married. She runs the household. I refer to her as the greatest director I've ever worked with.

I love Jonathan Adler but more importantly I love throws. To clarify, a throw is not to be confused with a blanket. A blanket is to be slept under, a throw is to accent a chair or sofa and give the illusion that in some scenario someone might rest underneath it. In reality, this scenario does not exist and I never want it to.

I'm just not one of these guys who, like, you know, woke up with a six-pack. I need Skittles. I have to eat very particularly and I have to work out like a madman. And then it looks like... okay.

There is nothing worse than bad drunk acting.

Pilots are so hard because you have to introduce all these characters, you have to hook an audience, and an audience has such a smaller attention span than maybe they used to have.

I think the most important foundation about any relationship is just being honest. Youve got to. My wife and I are honest to a fault with each other, and were best friends on top of it, so were very fortunate.

George Wendt is a saint. And one of the finest American actors that we have.

I literally have over a thousand emails in my inbox that need to be returned. I'm sure all of my friends and certain family members are like, 'Oh, look who got nominated for an Emmy and doesn't want to write me an email back!' I need a good few hours to just sit and get on the phone.

During a panic attack, I remember that today is just today and that is all that it is. I take a deep breath in and I realize that in this moment I am fine and everything is okay. More importantly, I am reminded that my A.P.C. jeans are so perfectly worn in that they are appropriate for any season and I am suddenly at ease.

So when you go to a set and you just fully trust everybody, you know how hard everybody's working, you know that the people doing it are good and have such a strong vision - that's exactly my experience on New Girl, and what my experience on Veronica Mars was like. Everybody was just so great.

I'm Jewish and my wife isn't so right now we're literally decorating a Christmas tree with Jewish stars draped around it.
