I love that when I breathe you in you smell like cake batter. And I love that you have this insane way of talking in circles that makes perfect sense.

Let them hate, just make sure they spell your name right.

I really feel that New York City is the greatest city in the world.

You always have a choice.

When you are backed against the wall, break the goddamn thing down.

I don’t have dreams, I have goals.

Winners don’t make excuses when the other side plays the game.

It’s not bragging if it’s true.

Sorry, I can’t hear you over the sound of how awesome I am.

Win a no-win situation by rewriting the rules.

My parents would have loved it if my brother or I had become a doctor or lawyer.

On 3 things in his bucket list: On my bucket list… Uhm, the question is totally catching me by surprise. Some more travel, spending quality time with my family and just getting the most I can out of my wife and daughter.

For me, I think there’s a lot more room in cable television to tell broader stories. NBC and the networks, they’re all very mainstream, and they’re a little more conservative in how they approach storytelling.

I grew up in New York till I was 5, and I remember going to see ‘Annie’ and some musicals as a kid, and I remember my parents being somewhat okay with us watching ‘Rocky Horror Picture Show,’ which, it boggles my mind that they allowed me to watch it.

I’m a T-shirt-and-jeans-with-combat-boots guy. And if I don’t have to shave, I don’t.

My family is full of musicians, and a couple of times a year we get together and jam at my cousin’s studio. We improvise and have a great time.

Honestly, I’m not a massive fan of courtroom dramas.

I believe that shows should be shot where they take place.

I can’t argue my way out of a paper bag.

I don’t mind doing the green-screen stuff at all, and in fact it’s a lot like black-box theater, which I did plenty of in New York.

Persistence is the key to achieving your dreams.

The greatest reward comes from stepping out of your comfort zone.

Never let fear be your guiding force.

Success is not a destination, it’s a journey.

Being able to see the bigger picture is key.

Sometimes good guys gotta do bad things to make the bad guys pay.

I didn’t ask you to explain the problem to me, I asked you to fix it for me.

First impressions last. Start behind the eight ball and you’ll never get in front.

I don’t have to overturn awards like that because I never lost one in the first place.

Captain Kirk is the man and I don’t want to hear another word about it.

I’m a straight shooter, and most of the time my ego doesn’t interrupt my relationships.

After a break-up people always claim that things will get better, and in fact they do. ( but not because we in fact ARE better but that the pain, has beaten every last ounce of feeling from us. after we are wasted away, because food and drink seems to be like sand being choked down, and sleep is no comfort because you know you’ll dream of them, and have to wake with knowing they’ll not be there. after all this is accepted, we are what people claim is ‘better’.

You can be sorry you aren’t perfect, but never be sorry for being yourself.

I think if you’re artistic in any way, you’re probably born with it. I guess it’s a talent that can be learned here and there, but I think the instinct to tell a story or to create something happens maybe in the womb.

There is a thing, like a bird, weak and fluttering within my chest, i cradle it and care for it as anyone should an injured thing, yet, i silently pray for it’s death.
