It's OK to turn down stuff that isn't really interesting and spend the summer with my family.

My aunt was so attuned to commercials that she could always identify the voiceover actor.

I'd always had the concern that being in commercials would affect my credibility when I was getting started as a TV and film actor.

The first thing I did that was at all in the public eye, other than on stage, was 'Oz,' in which I played the head of the Aryan Brotherhood in a maximum-security prison.

If I see a now-28-year-old woman coming up to me, she's probably thinking of 'Juno' because she watched it with her parents when she was 18 years old.

Music to me was never something that I could listen to while reading a book. Especially when I was studying music, if I was going to listen to music, I was going to put on the headphones or crank the stereo, and by God, I was going to sit there and just listen to music. I wasn't going to talk on the phone and multitask, which I can't do anyway.

Music has become so ever-present in our lives. You can't walk through a shopping mall or go into a restaurant without what we used to call Muzak.

Good material is good material.

It's nice to be number one on the call sheet.

In lean times, you get plenty of sleep, and you're not flying around everywhere.

With these big superhero movies, everybody is so tight-lipped about everything, there's a certain amount of just going on faith.

I completely agree with feeling the need for or the benefits of being pushed and of being directed on a project and collaborating.

The retired L.A.P.D. motor cops who work set security now, all wear the same uniform, they're great guys with great stories, and they're great at their job, providing security on sets.

Generally, if I read something that I think is really good and that I feel a connection with and is right for me, I see and hear who the guy is, as manifested by me.

We all want to not repeat ourselves constantly, and explore the limits of our capabilities.

I've been so blessed to have the opportunities that I've had.

I actually was a musician in college, a composer and singer, and really intended to be the second coming of Leonard Bernstein when I got out.

I did Broadway shows. And I started realizing that this is actually how I'm going to make my living. So maybe I should try to do television and film and make a better living and get an occasional residual check so I can pay a mortgage someday.

I never had intention of coming to New York or L.A. and actually doing more than scraping by - you know, doing plays. And as my career sort of progressed of its own volition, I did come to New York.

I've gone back and forth with fine-tuning the kind of conditioning I'm doing. Sometimes trying to shed weight and getting leaner and sometimes trying to pack on a little more muscle.

After the second and final time that I got hugely fat in my life and when I lost that weight six or seven years ago, I pretty much decided that I was going to stay in decent shape for the rest of my life.

Almost every character I've ever played - and sometimes this is very conscious and sometimes it's not - I need to find what they love.

When I go back to New York all these years later, I'll walk down Seventh Avenue, and I'll hear, 'Yo, Oz!' In New York, I get recognized for that all the time.

I have a degree in music, yeah, from the University of Montana. I studied voice and composition and conducting and all that.
