I've always been a big consumer of American journalism over the years and had an interest in the history of it and of the press in America; how it has changed.

I'm delighted to make as many people feel ashamed as possible. There's probably a site like that for everybody. I've heard Newt Gingrich has his own as well.

I'm organised in some ways, but not in others.

I'm fascinated by how you'll change your position so many times over a lifetime, but really what you're doing is occupying a series of positions on a landscape.

Do your own thing. Speak in your voice.

If you're a comic, you don't have a rehearsal room, you rehearse on stage. My main concern is remembering everything.

I actually very rarely see comedy myself, and although I admire the work of some comics, it does come from all over, so I'll get a charge out of some fiction writers and poets.

The terror of failure can make you feel like a failure. So a bunch of people think you're not very good at your thing. How much do you invest in what they say? How much do you care? Failure is not putting yourself on the line.

My drive to put myself on the line comes from boredom. From that feeling when you go to bed and think, 'What did I do today?' It doesn't have to be something monumental, just a feeling that you really tried to look at something, or look into something.

I don't know that you're able to measure your aggregate wisdom as you go through life. I can't say that I ever feel that I'm sitting on top of a growing mound of wisdom.

I've seen stand up comedy, and after a while you start to notice that a lot of people are doing things that are like a lot of other people. There can be a bit of a herd mentality, and that's obviously less interesting because there's less going on. I'm just being totally frank with you.

I do not walk around imaging myself to be intimidating or smart.

I'm Irish, yeah, but I don't need to get up on a soapbox about it.

I wanted to show off - a simple impulse or drive; in much the same way as some kids wanted to play football, I wanted to show off. Not complicated in that sense, very natural; it just depends on how you want to show off.

I was lucky in the sense that I was never blessed with an overly reflective nature.

What is universal can be surprising. Over time you find the kind of stuff which has people thinking 'That is just something that occurred to me... there's something wrong with me', is in fact stuff that is universal.

I have a personality type, but it's not like I'm like, 'Oh yeah, short and brunette. That's what I like. All the time.'

I'm a big root beer guy.

I'll always be reading a good book. I don't have, like, specific genre tastes or anything or things that I kind of get hooked on, reading genre books or anything like that. It's just really anything anyone kind of recommends or is going around or I hear is good.

Part of growing up is realizing you learn to love so many people. It's about forming those relationships and finding what will last forever.

I never have an opinion about clothes and know nothing about fashion.

The thing I like a lot about acting is I'll never learn enough. I'll never know it inside and out.

You don't disrupt genius at work.

I just really like fun, cool, interesting, quirky girls. And sometimes you find that in 6'2 model bodies and sometimes they're short and brunette. All shapes and sizes - it's really about the personality. That sounds cliche, but it's so freaking true!

I'm very shy. I wish more people believed me when I say that.

I love sprinting, but I hate long-distance running. Isn't that funny?

I feel like I'm good with girls. I understand them and am good at loving them. I've always felt like that's been natural for me.

I always assume that a chick is not into me. So it's never natural for me to be like, 'Check out that girl in the corner. She's waiting for me to come up to her. I'm gonna to work my six-step process...'

If you're proud of something, and if you're proud of your work at the end of the day, the experience, walking away, you can feel good about it; that's what you have to focus on.

It's always a long process of trying to suppress the self-doubt on set when you're acting.

I'll never be, at least in my mind, as cool as Jason Bourne.

I'm nervous and awkward.

If you have a good thing going behind the scenes, you'll have a good thing going on-screen.

I moved to California when I was twelve and I got a video camera and made little movies because I didn't have any friends yet. I would force my sister to make these movies with me - which became my YouTube channel.

You never want to pull any punches. You want that stuff to be as real and as vicious as possible.

The 'Maze Runner' family, we all just really genuinely love each other.

'Teen Wolf' ending is, like, huge. I know no acting without the show, basically.

I'm still on the ground, so I just do my thing.

I always whip up chicken cutlets or something. Or I make chicken parm and pasta, or something like that.

I've always wanted to play Peter Parker, obviously.

We were walking through Petco Park after a signing, and this girl plowed through security and grabbed onto my neck and started pulling. Her grip was so impressively strong that this huge security guard was struggling to get her off of me. I was like, 'Whoa. That's kind of crazy.'

When a chick has a sense of humor, there's nothing more attractive.

In regard to performing, it couldn't be funnier that I ended up being an actor, because I'm really shy. Unless I'm really comfortable with a person.

When I was younger, I used to just want to please everybody and not want to be an issue or not be considered a diva. I've just grown up and realized you have to look out for yourself and stick up for yourself, and there's nothing wrong with that.

Sometimes I'd literally show up at the gym having a panic attack, and my trainer would be like, 'All right, let's just go get breakfast.' I can't give enough credit to him... he was really there for me, and not just like a trainer where it's like, 'Well, come on, man, I gotta pump you up.' He cared more about my mind and the state that I was in.

I've never looked at myself as this pop candy type.

You always have the nightmare of, you know, working with the guy that you've just admired forever, and then he's just totally disengaged and awful to be around.

I love baseball - 'Moneyball' was my favorite book when I was 13.

I think there's something to be said about pacing yourself.

My heroes are guys like Tom Hanks, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Matt Damon. These are amazing actors with amazing careers that every actor should aspire to. I'm not saying I'm going to get anywhere close. It's not going to be an easy feat. I'm just in awe of their careers.
