 Confidence is at the root of so many attractive qualities, a sense of humor, a sense of style, a willingness to be who you are no matter what anyone else might think or say and it's true, I do have a certain fondness for women that have dark hair. |
| To be honest, I find going out pretty scary and intimidating. Got all those people checking you out, with only one purpose: hooking up. I'm quite the dork, I'd rather sit home and play Scrabble. But that doesn't get you a girl, does it? |
| You're confronted with the quandary: do I grind things to a halt? Ideally you would, but I have better things to do than educate people. |
| I'm kind of a dork. I don't have much game. I'm not particularly comfortable in bars or clubs. I much prefer being home playing Scrabble, having dinner with a couple friends, going to see a movie, or losing a whole weekend to Season 14 of Law and Order or The Simpsons. |
| There has to be a measure of faith. That's what this business is all about: trusting in something that may never show up, that you have no concrete proof of. |
| When I got to college, acting suddenly seemed like a very risky proposition and all my friends were going to law school or med school or Wall Street. |
| I made a decision not to work out because I'm lazy and also, the character is not a superhero. I didn't want him to be a buff guy with Jackie Chan moves because the point is he's smarter than your average Joe. |
| I worked with the same trainer that worked with Denzel Washington in THe Hurricane. It was three months of training, five days a week, 4 to 5 hours a day. This was followed by a month of choreography. |
| I'm very pleased with being a part of the Bean Pole family. It's a relationship that makes sense to me. I'm very pleased to have my name associated with Bean Pole Jeans. |
| A great book provides escapism for me. The artistry and the creativity in a story are better than any drugs. |
| My definition of cool is finding your own definition of cool and not necessarily taking your lead from what other people tell you or from what you might read from magazines or see on TV. |
| They told me at the end of that test that they wanted me to be a part of this project. I walked out and had a moment of clarity where I thought, not many people will ever have this moment. |
| I've never seen American Idol but I am grateful to them. That show is one of Fox's biggest moneymakers, and some of that money goes to pay for shows like Prison Break. Simon Cowell's been signing my paychecks and for that I say thanks. |
| I've been spoiled by this project. I was given the script and went in to read, realizing that this was a powerful story and one that wasn't told very often. |
| My encounters with racism are sort of second-hand situations where I might be standing around with a group of white friends and someone makes a comment that they wouldn't make at my family reunion. |
| I feel as though we're living in a time where there is very little distinction paid between the personal and the professional. |
| This role is more visible, and I grew up without a lot of that sort of modeling so I'm relieved and proud to have done this film. |
| It was just expected that I would go to college. Both my parents are teachers and they tolerated acting, but I was going to go to a school of quality or bust. Which made my downshifting back to acting afterward a little difficult. |
| I'm pretty much a couch potato. |
| Everyone has their challenges. |
