Hollywood is just like high school. The popular people only like the other popular people. And the thing is, some people aren’t nice – or they’re nice, but only to your face, not elsewhere.
Yes, hard is good. When I was in high school, I spent a lot of time on my knees playing with balls. I guess it was only natural that I became a catcher.

I’ve been performing since I was in high school, so I’ve seen people react to my music and my playing. I’m always appreciative when people like the music, but I’m not shocked.
I acted out a lot. I was very nerdy. I was very isolated, which I made up for by kind of talking and trying to entertain people and get them to like me, so I did theatre and improv in high school and college, but always as a hobby.
From the time that I was in high school, my life really revolved around live theater, so it almost feels genetic.

I was way behind physically in high school. They had weight bars that were about forty-five pounds. I couldn’t handle them. Couldn’t even put the weights on. It was embarrassing. So I always figured out ways to avoid lifting when I was young.

I hated high school. I didn’t have any friends because I didn’t fit in.
I subscribe to the online Urban Dictionary’s definition of nerd: ‘one whose IQ exceeds his weight’.

I happily proclaim myself a book nerd/reading geek and proud of it.

These movies are like my kids. I just love them to death. Some of them go to Harvard and some of them can barely graduate high school.

You know, bad poetry I wrote in high school can still be found on the Internet, and, you know, there’s a Web log of our college newspaper. You know, there’s so many different stages of my creative development are sort of on-record if somebody were to choose to look for them.
When I was in high school, there was ‘Superbad’ and ‘The Girl Next Door’ and ‘Wedding Crashers’ and all these great movies. You hope to be a part of something that’s smart, funny and in that Todd Phillips-vein. You want to make something like ‘Superbad.’ That movie was so good and so funny.
