We should never use the truth to wound.

It's important to remember that life is hectic and unpredictable.

An idiot with a plan can beat a genius without a plan

Everybody has to evolve.

I'm a cliche.

Everybody's got family, or they don't have family, but they come from somewhere.

I enjoy dating. I love first dates. I think they're incredibly fascinating studies in human psychology. When you sit down across from someone on a first date and things are going alright, you talk objectives. We want to win each other over, so how do you win someone over? You have to put the best foot forward.

I do enjoy doing action quite clearly, but I also really like doing comedy.

Any actor wants to do interesting roles, different roles. It's not all that much fun to do the same thing over and over again.

Just lead your life and try to make the best decisions.

I'm so envious of that genetic wiring that immediately puts a smile on your face. My genetic wiring just puts creases in my eyebrows.

My fans have designated themselves the, uh, 'Pine Nuts.' They're a nutty bunch.

'Star Trek' is about a bunch of disparate people and what they're capable of when they work together.

I would love to do more theatre, musicals... everything.

I find it really hard to even read another script while shooting.

My nana was an actress, my mom was an actress, and my sister, too. So because I was surrounded by it, it really came naturally.

Theater will always be a huge part of my life. The high I get from doing theater is not, quite honestly, matched by many things. I like the fact that when you step out on the stage, for that given night, for better or for worse, you are the master of the boards. I love it to death.

When you feel like an oddball, it never really leaves you. Even now, I'm better around people who are uncomfortable with themselves - the misfits.

When you want something enough, it brings out primal emotions. You get into this place of 'must happen, must happen.'

'Star Trek' scared me a lot more than 'White Jazz.' It terrified me, really. Because of the scale, the responsibility, the fact that it was this iconic character. It was the bigger challenge, so I had to take it.

I was a shy kid, a late bloomer. At 22, I was probably 16 emotionally.

I'm always calculating what I want to do, who I want to be, what I want to accomplish. I don't need to worry about that - that's always there on a slow simmer. The muscle I have to work on is being more present.

Fear runs our lives. It doesn't matter who you are. You have to understand your relationship with fear. Whether you're scared of getting into a relationship; or taking the new job; or a confrontation - you have to size fear up.

Work takes up a lot of my brain space. So when I work, it's one thing. I don't have a lot of time to think about dating.
