Actor

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 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.

I have to warn you: I bet horses like a girl.

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

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

I would rather do three or four small parts every year as opposed to some of the lower-hanging fruit that might get my name above the title.

Throughout my 20s I spent a lot of time just playing and not really working, but fortunately for me I continued to get just enough work, and have a reason to wake up in the morning. I really empathize 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.

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 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.

Things are going better now than ever, but in 24 months? I could be hearing crickets.

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

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

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.

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 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.

People have often asked if I'm gay because I don't go out of my way to spit and scratch and give people attitude.

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

I wasn't really interested in doing anything except going from pilot season to pilot season and sowing my oats in the months between and telling my agency to stop sending me movie scripts, because they'd pile up in my house and make me feel guilty because I had to read them.

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.
