Oh I've Done Bungee Jumping. Skydiving, I Have Motorcycles That I Ride. I'm A Little Bit Of An Adrenaline Junkie In That Way.

I'm Still Kind Of Nerdy About Video Games, But I've Had To Take A Little Bit Of A Step Back. I Was Really Not Getting A Lot Of Things Done In Life Because I Was Playing So Much Destiny. I Loved It, But I've Gotta Prioritize.

My High School Experience Was Pretty Good, But My Middle School Experience Was God Awful. It Was Horrible. I Got Picked On Like No Tomorrow.

I Read Graphic Novels, Here And There, But I'm Not A Comic Book Guy, As Much.

Aladdin' Was Probably My Favorite Disney Animation When I Was A Kid. The Animation Was Great And Robin Williams Was Unbelievable As The Genie. 'aladdin' Was An Amazing Adventure And The Lead Character Was A Hero For Guys, Which I Loved. It Wasn't A Princess Or A Girl Beating The Odds; It Was A Street Rat. That Seemed Really Cool To Me.

Deadpool Would Have Been An Amazing Character To Play, But Ryan Reynolds Already Did That.

As Artists, When You Have People That Care About What You Do, I Think You Should Care About Those People Who Care About What You Do, And Give Them Really Cool Interactive Experiences To Make Them Feel Appreciated.

I Wish It Was A Little Easier For An Actor To Later Go Into Singing And Have It Be Accepted, But Maybe I Can Still Do It.

What Resonates With People Is That It Feels Like You Actually Are Thinking Of Them.

The Thing I've Always Been Most Nerdy About Is Technology, In General.

People Don’t Talk About Religion A Lot In Hollywood Because It’s Not An Incredibly Safe Place To Do It.

When I Was A Kid, I Used To Be Way More Nerdy About Comic Books And Comic Book Characters. I Still Love Them, But I Don't Collect Anymore.

On A Personal Level, I Love The Idea Of Hosting An Awards Show. I Think That Sounds Like Kind Of A Fun Thing To Do.

Nerd. One Whose Unbridled Passion For Something Defines Who They Are As A Person, Without Fear Of Other People's Judgment.

I Think Everyone Is Their Harshest Critic, But I Strive For Excellence As Much As I Can Because I Think It Shows.

I Can Destroy A Dance Floor. I Think Life Should Be A Musical. I Always Hate It When People Watch A Musical And They Go, 'oh, It's So Unrealistic, No One Just Breaks Into Song In The Middle Of Their Day.' Yeah, They Do- If They're Me.

Television Is A Pretty Great Job, To Begin With, And I Wouldn't Have Anything, If It Weren't For The Jobs That I've Had In The Past That Have Built Up To That

Being Nerdy Just Means Being Passionate About Something, Including Everyone - The Coolest People On Earth Are Passionate And Therefore Nerdy About Something Whatever It Is, Whether It's Sports, Or Gaming, Or Technology, Or Fashion, Or Beauty, Or Food, Or Whatever.

I Am A Huge Comic Book Nerd And Video Game Nerd, So To Get To Actually Play One Of Those Characters Would Be Off The Chain. It Would Be Amazing.

I Want To Go Create My Own Independent Content And Entertainment, In New Models And In New Ways, And Essentially Show Studios And Networks That People Are Good.

If I Had All The Money In The World, I'd Be Like, "great, Let's Just Keep Doing It!" I, Unfortunately, Have Not Won The Lottery Or Found The Magic Genie Lamp.

I Don't Believe In Strong-arming People.

Fans Will Treat Something Preciously If They're Given The Opportunity To Do So.

If Somebody Says 'singer-songwriter' To Me, The First Person I Think Of Is James Taylor. There Are Plenty Of Modern Singer-songwriters, But There Is Something About James Taylor That Has Always Resonated With Me.

I'm Looking Forward To Playing Some Really Despicable Characters At Some Point In My Career So I Can Branch Out And Stretch Those Acting Muscles. But I Wouldn't Want To Do That On A Regular Basis.

A Lot Of People, Especially Christians, Want To Put You In This Box Of Being A Christian Actor, And I Don't Believe In It. You Do Yourself And Everyone Else A Big Disservice When You Start Thinking About It As "christian Art." That's Why Most Christian Art Is Bad. They Don't Put A Premium On The "art."

To Do Panels Where You Get To Interact With Your Fans, In A Really Intimate, Awesome Way, And To Let Them Ask All Of The Questions, Is Fun To Me And It Shows Them That You Care About Their Opinions, Their Thoughts, And Their Passion For Your Project.

I Love Hosting. I've Always Really Enjoyed Making People Happy, And So Anytime I'm Doing Anything Or The Event Is Doing Anything, And I Look Around And There Are Smiles On Everybody's Faces, I Feel Like I've Succeeded In Doing Something. That's The Stuff That I'm Most Grateful For.

I'm More Of A Seat Of My Pants, Heat Of The Moment Kind Of Person, Which Lends Itself Well To Hosting And Acting, But Not Necessarily Going, "oh, What Is My Shot List? That's Right, I Needed To Work On A Shot List."

I've Sung My Whole Life. I Did A Lot Of Musical Theater Growing Up, I Sing In The Shower, Sing In The Car, Sing Everywhere Really, On Set At Chuck, All The Time. I Like It, And I've Always Felt Like I've Had A Knack For It, Or A Talent For It, On Some Level, I Don't Know.

I Think That It's Much Easier For A Recording Artist To Become An Actor Than For An Actor To Become A Recording Artist.

I Believe In Conscientious Capitalism; That's A Kind Of Driving Force With Me.

Films Are Really Cool Because, Every Couple Months, Or However Many Times You Can Get A Job Because There's A Lot Of Luck Involved In That, You're Playing A Different Character.

I'm A Huge Disney Nut. I Have Been Since I Was A Little Kid.

I Hope There's Always At Least A Small Part Of Me That's Always Surprised, Always Taken Aback, Always Childlike Or Innocent.

I Mean, I Like To Consider Myself A Reasonably Athletic Guy.

What Is Your Peace All About? What Is Your Comfort All About? Where Do You Get Your Love? Where Do You Get Your Talents? And I Can Turn To Them And Say Without Blinking, ‘jesus Christ.’

You Just Want To Make Something That's Awesome And That People Dig, And I'm Excited About It.

I Am Afraid For My Health. I'm Definitely Burning The Candle A Little, At Both Ends, And I Have To Be Careful About That.

The People That Keep Coming Back Every Year Are Diehards. I'll Go Out There To Host A Panel And I Know Half Of The Audience. I See Them, Every Year, And They Come Back For More Because They Believe In Us. That's One Of The Coolest Things.

My Whole Background, My Whole Life Was Just Lots And Lots Of Theater, A Lot Of That Being Musical Theater.

I Have A Hard Time With Scheduling, And With Hunkering Down And Planning. That's Always Been A Struggle For Me.

I Had Gotten The Role Of Fandral In Thor, But Scheduling Conflicts (with Chuck) Prevented That From Going Forward.

I Get A Lot That People Have A Hard Time Believing That I’m A Nerd... But I Grew Up With A Nintendo Controller In My Hand.

I Started In Theater, And I Love To Go Back To Theater, Just To Have The Experience And Recharge My Batteries, Creatively.

I'm A 'lost' Guy, I Love 'lost.

My Family Was Always Very Supportive. Whether You're An Actor Or Not, Everybody Hears The Horror Stories Of People Going To L.a. And Trying To Be An Actor, And Their Dreams Are Crushed, And They End Up Working For The Irs. So They Were Always Protective To The Point That They Wanted Me To Have A Backup Plan, Which Is Understandable, But There Was Always Something Inside Of Me That Knew: Backup Plan, Schmackup Plan.

As Far As Being An Actor Is Concerned, You Have To Have Passion. If You're Not Bringing The Passion Of The Character Into The Room With You, You Might As Well Not Come Into The Room At All.

I Think That 'family Guy' Is Hysterical. It's Edgy And Hip - And They Can Do Whatever They Want To Do Because It's Animated And They're Not Limited By Budget.

I Just Remember That When Jennifer Love Hewitt Released An Album A Few Years Back, It Was Like 'oh, Why Is Jennifer Love Hewitt Releasing An Album?' But If Queen Latifah, Or Justin Timberlake, Or Anybody Else Wants To Be An Actor, It's Like 'yeah, I'll Go Check That Out.'

People Are More Willing To Accept A Singer As An Actor, Than An Actor As A Singer.

Oftentimes, People Start With Something, Whatever It Is, And It's Great, But Over The Years, It Loses Its Focus Or Way And Corners Get Cut. Some People Are Fine With That, But I'm Not.

I Believe In Incentivizing People. If You Can Incentivize People In Anything, Whether It's In Politics; In Life; In Spirituality; In Business; Just Take Care Of Folks. Incentivize Them And All Of A Sudden It's Amazing The Difference That You'll See.

You Know, Hollywood Is A Very Interesting Town - Always Has Been, Always Will Be.

I Do Think About The Flash Often. I Think That Could Be A Really Fun Role To Play At Some Point. That's Right Up My Alley. I Just Want Somebody To Believe In Me That I Could Be A Superhero.

As Far As Comic Books Are Concerned, I Was Always A Marvel Guy For The Most Part, Although I Did Follow Dc A Little. I Don't Know, Honestly I'd Just Like To Play Whatever Role [that] Not Just The Studio, But The Fans Think I Fit The Best Into. Because I Think, Especially In Worlds Like That, You've Really Got To Do Right By The Fan Base And Stay In Tune With What They Are Looking For And What They Desire. I Would Just Want To Do Right By Them.

Entertainment Has This Way Of Resetting Itself.

Doing Photo Booths And Signings, And Doing All Of That For Charity, And Having Dance Parties Every Night, Is So Much Fun. I Like To Dance, And I Know Other People That Like To Dance. It's A Great Way To Celebrate The Time That We're All Down There Together.

I Believe That As An Entertainer, You're Only As Good As Your Audience And The People Who Support You.

I'm Going To Trust God That I'm Not Going To Completely Burn Out, And That I'll Have The Energy In Me To Stay In It. Fortunately, I Have Really Excellent People Around Me That Are Helping Me.

I Could Probably Give You A List Of A Dozen Pet Peeves I Have About My Own Physicality And Why I Couldn't Get A Second Date.

The Future And Where We're Going Can Be Very Terrifying, In Some Ways, But It's Also Really Inspirational.

I Love Reading About All Of The Breakthroughs And All Of The New Tech, Even Just The Little Household Things That Are Coming On The Market. I've Always Been Nerdy About That.

It's Tough To Fully Believe In Yourself Sometimes.

I Just Love Going Down Into The Crowd And Getting People Pumped Up And Dancing.

I Love Being Able To Be The Artist Of The Whole Picture, As Opposed To Just One Of The Brushes.

When You Go And Create Something, You Want To Believe In It. If They Don't, We're Barking Up The Wrong Tree. But When You Believe In Something And You See Other People Believing In It Too, It Just Feels Like You're Doing Something Right In The World, And That Feels Good.

I Just Try To Remember My Lines Most Of The Time.
