I got a book deal without even turning in one shred of a writing sample.

I don't know why in society when a woman demands perfection she is called crazy.

People identify with me - everyone does - African American women, Caucasian women, they all identify with me because I'm ethnic.

But you see, that's the gilded prison of fashion. We're riding in private jets, and meantime I was so incredibly, painfully sad and lonely.

I have been shaped by my mistakes and disappointments - just as I have been shaped by my successes.

I find the light and work it, work it, work it.

Photo shoots for underage girls are like letting an ant walk around with honey.

Phil Spector is probably a better date than Roman Polanski.

The industry has died as far as modeling has gone, and I'll tell you why. Magazines are featuring the Halle Berrys and Sarah Jessica Parkers, all the actresses. Makeup companies are featuring all the celebrities. All the models have died.

I'm a guy who is a little bit complicated and is a little bit in his own head and is not the most free-spirited, fun-loving kind of guy.

Improvisation, for me, is when the cameras start rolling, we don't know where we're going and let's just waste people's time and money.

As an actor, you get hired for what you last did. And I guess it just becomes your choice or obligation to do different things.

I'm in bed by nine. Let's get on with it.

If I'm enjoying something, I'd like to be able to just have it all. Frankly, that's the way I'm approaching my career now. I'm a total workaholic.

I'd worked so hard that by the time I was 20, I wanted to play hard. And I did that really well.

I play around with my Japanese Garden. Since Im half way to 70 today I need to start pruning trees and sharpening plants like an old fart.

I love a massage. I'd go every day if I could.

I don't worry about people misinterpreting my kindness for weakness.

I just love doing sitcoms. I'd be in them till I was gray if they'd have me.

I'm not a 'celebrity'. I'm not a big huge star and so when people see me it's usually to talk about something I've done and that's a great conversation to have.

Directing a movie is the greatest job in the world. I could not be more envious of the guys who get to do it all the time.

I don't really find a problem with technology or television, or anything. I'm a product of it. I grew up watching TV, and I don't think I'm too dumb or too crazy.

I'm not a Hollywood party guy.

I don't have anything to fix! I don't smoke, I don't drink, and I don't eat carbs. My life is just great now. Normal. Vanilla.

My hobbies have varied over the years. There were a whole set of new ones before I got married. Now I spend as much time with my wife, who is my best friend.

I actually enjoyed changing diapers and I enjoyed swaddling. I don't mind being swaddled either, on occasion.

I can be on a telephone call, and be emailing or texting somebody else, as well. I would imagine everyone appreciates that efficiency of communication. I see it as a huge positive.

I like being hired to do more and more stuff. Carry more and more responsibility. It's nice I'm getting that trust.

I'm not much of a party guy anymore.

I think anybody who's doing work in their teen years on TV or in the movies, you're a teen idol by default.

What's frustrating as an actor, when you want to work hard, you can only work once that phone rings and then you can only work until the production wraps. Then you have to find another job.

I love a massage. I'd go every day if I could. I don't need to be wrapped in herbs like a salmon fillet, but I do love a massage.

It's a really exciting thing to collaborate with production designers, cinematographers and gaffers and costume designers and editors and composers.

Actors, by very definition, we want people to pay attention to us, and so usually, that comes in the package of insecurity. So if we're not comfortable, we don't really show you a lot.

On the whole, a director who make the set a comfortable place to work is really important, whether it's a comedy or drama.

Music is such an incredibly affecting part of any movie-going experience, and it just... it shapes your whole experience.

I enjoy editing when I'm directing, but when someone else is directing, that's their film to cut.

We had, like, the greatest time you could ever imagine doing 'Arrested Development.' And as grateful as we are for the careers we have afterwards, it was - we still miss it.

I look at whatever the finish line is for the character and then kind of act backwards from that and play him in such a way so that that finish line is more rewarding.

I was very surprised to get a reading for 'Arrested Development' because it really seemed to be the opposite of that which I was known for doing.

The people at Netflix are extremely intelligent about the way they monitor activity on their platform.

I'm looking forward to playing Michael Bluth many, many more times.

I owe everything to 'Arrested Development.' It just shows that everybody is kind of a job away from having relevance again.

I really appreciate comedy a lot.

My family is pretty funny. My mother is British, so she's got a very dry sense of humor. That's where I got that from.

Pre-production and post-production is something that I've never been exposed to. I was pleasantly surprised that you could accomplish a lot during pre-production.

To have the privileged position of being the guy who is responsible for shaping the entire experience for an audience as opposed to being just one instrument in that orchestra, being an actor, it's all-encompassing.

Directing films is incredibly exciting to me.

My upbringing as a child was very atypical.
