Maybe I'm stupid or whatever, but to me if I got a concussion, if I could see straight and I could carry a football then I'm not telling anybody.
It makes me believe in fate. In most cases, the readings where I've been really bad have usually been the ones where I got the part.
I'm like the king of the low-budget sequel. People ask, 'What film are you gonna do next?' 'I don't know, but it's probably got a 3 or 4 in the title.'
I'd been an actor in high school, and when I got to college, it was all about film.
When 'Hung' got canceled, I was available for pilot season, and 'Arrow' was the first thing I auditioned for. It wasn't the first script that came to me, but it was my first audition.
I went to James Monroe High School, a big school in the East Bronx. My first promotion was the first alumni reunion dance. I got all the names and addresses out of the yearbook. It came off very well.
I don't think I'm easy to talk about. I've got a very irregular head. And I'm not anything that you think I am anyway.
I wouldn't exactly describe 'Detention' as a horror movie. I mean, it does have horror elements in it, but it's got a lot more to it, and it's not a typical horror movie.
After all those years of doing a live, hour-and-a-half show every week, I've got nothing more I need to prove.
I was never a strikeout pitcher. Why should I throw eight or nine balls to get a man out when I got away with three or four?
I'm a satirist, so I've got boxing gloves on if the person is worthy of satire. But I'm not an assassin.
One of the most memorable things I hear is when someone tells me that my books got a reluctant reader to read.
I got involved early on in social media - I created one of the first social networks - and for me, social gaming was a natural evolution of that.
It seemed to me that I was put on earth to take care of people. That is what I should be doing, and I never got tired of it.
I got asked by a freelance journalist to jump in front of Princess Diana's funeral. How pathetic is that? That would have been the stupidest thing on the planet.
I had a doctorate in biological anthropology. I got a post-doc at CWRU dental school in 1983 teaching gross anatomy.
I spent so long studying really hard to become a fine actor, but threw it all away because I got the adulation and the fame so easily.
So already, you go from not having a job and thinking you're going to get fired after the pilot, to knowing that you've got a guaranteed job for 4 years.
When we started the band, it was because we were waiting for a sound that never happened. We got tired of waiting, and we decided to just do it ourselves.
I had started off, before I ever got an acting job, working at Robert De Niro's Tribeca Productions as a reader. I was always interested in that side of the camera.
The feeling of support I got was pretty overwhelming. That energy and optimism was something I had been missing and didn't even know it.
