I had so much fun on 'The Mindy Project.'

I like bothering people and stirring things up.

I feel the need to endanger myself every so often.

I have this burgeoning reputation for playing a scumbag.

My natural self is John Goodman. If I relaxed, I'd be him.

I think I'm a lot more complicated than my looks might indicate.

I know this sounds stupid, but in some ways, the way I look is a drawback.

It's become a cliche to think of marriage as a disaster area and a war zone.

What can I say: I got started on the whole wife-and-kids thing at a young age.

It's an actor's job to play all the human conditions - light, dark, and medium.

I never have thought of myself as a brand. I've thought of myself as an artist.

Eastern medicine is not about curing your sickness. It's about keeping you well.

I've always felt if my nose were more crooked, critics would focus more on my acting.

I don't think I gave 'Wings' its due. I was young. I wanted to light the world on fire.

I have a beautiful wooden Superman statue with a removable cape - I really love that piece.

I have no illusions of being the big box office draw. But I would like to have some choices.

'Wings' offered me the rare opportunity to be a full-time dad and a working actor for eight years.

The biggest compliment I can ever get as an actor is to have someone say, 'We didn't recognize you.'

I can't help teasing people. That's the way that I am, and I hope that nobody takes it too personally.

You cannot go wrong with Bugs Bunny. He's the coolest cartoon character ever. I quote him all the time.

The creative tension with spirituality vs. practicality in the world of politics is a vital conversation.

What I've realized, and had to become comfortable with, is that I'm just, I don't think, a star. I'm an actor.

I grew up with actors, so I never thought of them as anything but human - sort of horribly, inextricably human.

What can I say: I got started on the whole wife-and-kids thing at a young age. I had my kids while I was in utero.

People are human beings. They talk about stuff, they make mistakes, they try to impress each other with their tidbits.

I love babies - I love being with them. As for acting with them, it's kind of hard because they don't know how to act.

I never had the desire to get in front of the camera. It never occurred to me! I always thought I'd be a theater actor.

I appreciate all the devices the Windows people are coming up with, but the operating system... I just want to smash it.

I love getting on the subway because you get on the car, and you see the entire human race represented in any given subway car.

Everybody wants to have their 'Breaking Bad.' It went to Bryan Cranston. It couldn't have happened to a better guy or a better actor.

I've had - I don't really know how to describe them, except moments of 'extrasensory perception' of some sort. I've also had sort of a 'white light' moment.

I love exploring the relationship between fathers and daughters. I think that's a special thing, especially with daughters who are dealing with being adults.

Thank God for acupuncture. It's been around for 2000 years. It's not going anyplace and people use it all of the time for a variety of cures and to avoid illnesses.

I could have been a rich kid who stayed in college and got by on the path of least resistance, but I got much more out of being in the world and pulling my own weight.

I realized that my grandfather walked with Martin Luther King forty years ago. That was his dream. And in his little way, he helped us get closer to where we are today.

I have a farm in Vermont; that's my main residence, where I do lots of digging and mowing, and ride tractors - just so you don't get the wrong idea that I'm too girlie!

I get offered a lot of parts where I want to say, 'Why don't you just hire a model? Don't hire an actor.' I'm trying to convince people I'm a real actor, not some mannequin.

Well, I have a farm in Vermont that's my main residence, where I do lots of digging and mowing, and ride tractors - just so you don't get the wrong idea that I'm too girlie!

I didn't dream of being in television or film. But then I got married pretty young and had children, and I wanted to feed the children, so I worked a lot of film and television.

Twitter, just every once in a while I put something out there basically to promote whatever I'm doing, but I don't see any of that as representing me or who I am or being a brand.

I was 9 years old, and this was - well, whenever it was, they paid a thousand bucks. I thought I was going to be rich forever! But I had no thought I would be an actor at that point.

We sort of have given up on the idea of taking any sort of personal responsibility for what we see. I don't understand it at all. There are many things that I won't let my kids watch.

I was a little bit of a slob who was sort of surrounded by dirty laundry. I can trace the exact moment that I became a tidy human being, and that moment was the day my son Sam was born.

I am a member of the human race. There's a certain irony about the cyberworld. You don't know who is talking to you, if it's a machine, so I tend to try to reach out to those fellow humans.

Usually when I see myself in a film or on television, there's about a six-month period where I can't look at it because all I'll see are the mistakes. I'm just appalled by the person that I see.

I used to build lofts in SoHo back when there was nothing there. I had a stoop on West Broadway between Prince and Spring. My partner and I would sit there, eat dinner, and watch the world go by.

Well, I've seen a bunch of acupuncturists and one of my sister-in-laws is an herbalist. So I know a lot about alternative medicine. I don't know a lot about the practice but I know about the world.

It's ironic, really, because I've spent the bulk of my career making my living in a very commercial realm: network television. And yet, my sensibilities don't necessarily line up with how I pay my rent.

I've never seen a professor of religion on television before, and I thought that was fascinating. The creative tension with spirituality vs. practicality in the world of politics is a vital conversation.

'Superman' was a total accident. The producers of the animated series were having a hard time finding someone to read the character. I was brought in through a connection and, I think, out of desperation.
