I've always kind of ripped from real life to some degree or at least how I'm feeling in the moment.
I was very, very thrown by the fact that I had to make some big changes in my life in order to be myself, but under this kind of movie-star banner.
'Shameless' was such a weird time in my life because I never really experienced any kind of role that put me that much in the spotlight before.
The people that matter to me the most are the people that are in my life. That's who I really learn from, and it's always a very personal kind of connection.
I feel as though the camera is almost a kind of voyeur in Mr. Bean's life, and you just watch this bizarre man going about his life in the way that he wants to.
But music can save your life sometimes. It probably saved me from working in a bank or something. That's a kind of salvation right there.
It was definitely some tough moments throughout my life, but I kind of stayed focused and came through the other end of the tunnel.
'Give up... it's time to quit,' I don't think I've ever really accepted those kinds of words in my life or vocabulary.
By playing games you can artificially speed up your learning curve to develop the right kind of thought processes.
I love Cheetos, those hot, spicy kind. And chocolate. Every time I'm in the airport I'm buying Cheetos and eating them on the airplane.
Plenty of Disney kids are perfectly normal and love what they do. But you always hear about the people who aren't doing well. It's kind of like the squeaky wheel.
It's so hard for me to kind of fall in love with comedy, but if something comes my way... I mean, I loved 'Weird,' I thought that was a really fun character.
I very rarely read any fiction. I love biographies; I read about all kinds of people. I love theology and some philosophy.
I would love to make some kind of film about the witches and the Inquisitions. That would be really fun because I don't think their stories have been told enough.
Love and kindness are never wasted. They always make a difference. They bless the one who receives them, and they bless you, the giver.
I've had a career that is kind of under the radar, but it sure is varied, and I've been so blessed to be able to get paid to do something I love to do.
I do love horror movies, but I'm not the kind of guy who would dress up as a ghoul for Halloween. I might go as a member of the Blue Man Group.
I'd love to do a character with a wife, a nice little house, a couple of kids, a dog, maybe a bit of singing, and no guns and no killing, but nobody offers me those kind of parts.
I love catching a snapshot of something that is just about to happen. Or maybe something that just happened, you know. But I like especially that just-before kind of feeling.
I write the kinds of novels I like to read, where the setting is rendered with love and care.
I absolutely love any kind of outdoor activities like snowboarding, hiking, surfing, and laying out on the beach if I ever get the time... which is not often!
