Actor

I'm very much an introvert.

I worked at Ruby Foos early on as a host. I was only there for a little bit, but I had several odd jobs to pay the bills before that. And being in New York for the first year, I got here in 2003, and it was a very exciting but very scary time not knowing how you would make ends meet and me trying to meet people.

I hate L.A. Can't be bothered.

I'm a person who does not like to journal; I don't like to sit down and write... I don't even like sending emails.

Personally, I'm very private, so when my door is closed, it means I'm unavailable, and when it's open, it doesn't mean you can come in.

One thing I refuse to do is force it. So I've canceled many auditions because nothing has come up, and I don't want to waste anybody's time. God forbid they outright give it to me and I don't connect with it.

I don't go out much. I have people over, and I cook dinner, or we play the piano, or we watch TV.

Here's what I'm going to say about that: my personal thought about the brilliance of 'Peeno Noir' as proven by the fans' appreciation is that, when watched back, what makes it so exciting is the random locations and the random costume changes and the multiple shots that we've done all over the city.

I could not leave Georgia fast enough.

I don't like flashy things.

I fell asleep during 'The Dark Knight Rises.' I fell asleep during 'The Hunger Games,' all of them. I cannot stay awake. As soon as a movie starts, I'm asleep!

My microphone went out in the 2009 Tony Awards. It was my big moment, and I was so excited to perform and lead the cast; I sang 'Sit Down, You're Rockin' the Boat.' Every actor dreams of standing front and center on the Tony Awards, and I start to sing, and you hear this crackling. I had no idea what to do - were they going to stop a live telecast?

I don't enjoy attention as much as people may think I do.

I get to do some unbelievably layered things. The material that I'm given is so complex, and I'm so grateful for it, so I welcome any opportunities to push boundaries.

I know that I need my coffee in the morning, and I don't want to talk to anybody at the start of my day!

I get to play some zany, multilayered, very complex individuals.

When I got to New York, all I wanted to do - or so I thought - was win a Tony award or, at least, be nominated.

I know that I need a lot of sleep, and while I'm filming, I probably won't get it.

I'm a Pisces - I can't rest if you aren't resting well.

The critics are not writers - they're not a part of the creative process; therefore, they should not influence how I go about doing my next bit of work.
