I get excited when the people I work with scare me. I get excited when I’m surrounded by people who make me better and make me stay on my game and challenge me.

I hate Christmas. I do think it is odd that I have wound up playing these two iconic Christmas haters. It is the same story, in a way. Scrooge is the original Grinch. I think I am perfectly suited, because I have had some dark Christmases.

I just like being creative, whatever way I have to do it.

I just love to skate. When I put a skate on the ice, I’m free from the world, and I have no problems at all. I am a bird!

I just may laugh at different things than most people. I laugh at mistakes. I laugh at how you recover from mistakes. I see when people go off their material and it’s actually happening in front of you and that kind of stuff excites me.

Jim Carrey

I just want to be myself.

I love playing ego and insecurity combined.

I love stories about teachers. For some reason I can’t get enough of those kind of stories. If I turn a movie on about a teacher, I love it. I love that idea of an adult influence on kids.
