I think anyone who's ever gone through adolescence and wanted something from their parents knows the basic tenets of a con.

I have, like, three suits to my name. But one thing I've learned is that when you dress up in real life, people treat you differently.

Making a great television show is hard enough. To also tackle F. Scott - whoa.

One of the things about the con artist lifestyle is that all the romance is sort of sloppy and fast and loose.

Outside of, as a kid, just wanting to be able to fly and run faster than a speeding locomotive and being able to leap tall buildings in a single bound, we'd like to hope that, when push comes to shove, we can do the right thing. I think as long as there is that hope in our society and in the zeitgeist of superheroes, Superman will be relevant.

Our high school offered a comprehensive drama department where I was doing 'Angels in America' at 14.

Everyone needs a reset button so you can start your day without anxiety. For some people, it's running; for some, it's going to the gym. For me, it's meditation.

I have more faith in Santa Claus now than I do an exec.

It's all about communication and a dialogue between individuals - get rid of the labels, get rid of the shame, get rid of the stigmas and just be your most authentic self.

One of the ways I learned how to act, really, is by having secrets and having to function as a kid in a public school in suburban Bible Belt Texas.

Unfortunately, in some parts of the country, some kids are taught at an early age that being different is somehow bad or wrong or worthy of ridicule.

My grandma blows my mind. To me, she exemplifies what a loving, accepting Christian is.

Human imagination is so much more potent than anything we could put down in words.

Cote de Pablo is one of my best friends! We went to college together.

I did a one-off episode of 'The New Normal' for Ryan Murphy, and that was the first time I played a gay role.

If you're wearing suits and you want to create your own sense of style, get to the tailor.

I'm so thankful to have been born in the times that we live in.

I had two wonderful teachers: Sanford Melsner and Fred Kareman.

Acting was far from my world. I rarely saw a play. I never met a real actress; they seemed unreal.

I think the secret to what Jim Henson did, ultimately, is that he understood how to cut through to the... I know this sounds corny... but the child inside of you.

I don't worry when I go away for a while. I think there is a place for me. It may not be at the top of the heap. But that doesn't bother me, either. I think I will always be able to get work - which is the only thing I have ever really been interested in.

I've chosen all my films very carefully. I know that I've had better parts in some films than in others. But the films I do are the ones I want to see when I read the screenplays. I guess you can basically say that I've just done things I loved when I read them.

I didn't work for a year and a half after 'Melvin and Howard' because all I was being offered was silly parts.

I wasn't making any money, but I didn't feel unsuccessful because of that. You can do that in New York but not in Hollywood. In Hollywood, it is how much money you make.
