I haven't met a lot of 'Hogan Family' fans.

I don't want to be obnoxious with my ambition or sound like I expect any sort of entitlement here. Hollywood is not in the business of humoring people.

Actors are sellers, and I figured out a long time ago that if you wanted to work a lot, you had to be on the buying side.

You hit those valleys sometimes and it's really frustrating. It's like getting stuck in traffic on the freeway. But there's not much you can do about it.

That's kind of the fun part about acting. We do get the right to kind of get from A to Z any way we want, as long as we start at A and end at Z.

I'm a pretty normal guy. I'm really good at knowing how a normal guy would react in situations.

I think you get the parts that people are comfortable with seeing you play.

I think NBC got a little reluctant to get behind single-camera shows after 'Scrubs' didn't do what they thought it was going to do following 'Friends.'

If you make a mistake, people are going to know about it really fast - and I was making a ton of them when I was a kid.

It was a blast. I was doing everything that teenagers do and everything people in their twenties do. I was playing as hard as I was working, which was an effort to really balance my life.

I was doing everything that a kid would be doing anyway, but on top of that, I was able to fly to different cities.

You want 100% and 100% to make 200, instead of 50 and 50 making 100.

I'm not talented enough to drop everything and become somebody different.

I'm never happier than in the bed.

I really empathise with some of my peers who had success in the early years; then it dries up, and so there's no reason to get up in the morning.

The kids can't watch 'The Wire,' but there's great educational stuff for them to watch on TV if it is TV time. There are great apps on the iPad that are interactive and educational.

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 think the Internet is a huge positive.

My father was a director and producer, so when I was a little kid, he would take me to movies and show me what's good and what's not good and why, and often that would take me to a conversation about directing.

When you're playing a supporting character, you don't really have a lot of control of the quality of the film.

Ideally, that's what you've got in an acting career is an equal number of dramas and comedies and an equal number of small films and big films.

Nothing would make me happier than doing nothing but drama for the foreseeable future.

I can't assume that my kid is going to make the best decision all the time.

I'm not that great of an actor, so I can't, like, completely become somebody else.

I try to figure out how much of the character I can find in myself because you don't want to get outside of your skill-set.

There are worse things than being constantly hired to do anything.

I didn't really watch 'Beavis & Butt-head' that much or 'King of the Hill,' but I was a huge 'Office Space' fan.

I'm just going to try to stay employed. That's the tough part in this business.

There's a bunch of different flavours of funny. It's all about the execution of it.

If you laugh, we just do another take. Laughter is too rare nowadays. If you can bust a gut, let it go, and we'll just go back to one.

I like to give my daughter some rope and let her make her own decisions.

I did a good bit of episodic television directing, but directing a movie is so much more complicated.

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. That's what we're doing it for.

My mother is British; she's from Shrewsbury. She turned me onto 'Monty Python' very early.

It's not new: In the '70s, Archie Bunker said terrible things on 'All in the Family,' but it was all in Carroll O'Connor's performance. You saw lack of intelligence, and you laughed.

I'd much rather have the freedom, and the obligation to use it responsibly, than be put in a box.

Our kids will never have to remember things, because it's all in pictures. Want to remember your fourth birthday? There'll be video of it on your phone.

I think it's always a good time to be in a political film in America because there's so much material for comedy.

It's very difficult to pretend you're throwing a car.

I just think technology is pretty amazing. Like all things that are great, you have to be responsible about how much you use it.

As disciplined as I am, I'm also a huge hedonist.

It's not a sprinter's approach. It's more like a long-distance thing. You can stick around a lot longer if you kind of slow-play it.

I've been fortunate, but I'm also not very precious about making sure I'm the star of a film.

It earns you a lot of snark if you're able to convey vulnerability.

If you're stumbling out of a bar, and people tweet about it, well, don't be dumb. If you're going to get falling-down drunk, stay at home - which I did a lot of.

I don't feel sorry for people in the public eye getting eyed by the public.

People still come up to me and say, 'Hey, 'Teen Wolf!' 'Teen Wolf Too' closed a week after it opened. Where did they see it?

Acting has always been very comfortable for me, so it allows me to pay attention to other parts of the process literally while I'm acting.

I looked around at the relationships that were the longest in my life, and they were the ones I had with my friends. I thought, 'If I only wanted to get married once, I should probably marry a friend.'

My father was a freelance writer/director/producer, and my mother was a stewardess for Pan-Am. It was very non-traditional.
