Nobody makes me laugh.

Through that, I got to know Jerry's work, and I am definitely his number-one fan right now, which is interesting because it usually works the other way around: you usually create a project based on your hero.

And I'm OK being judged as an actor.

And so, I think when I got to college, you discover who you are and find yourself more than you did before.

At the beginning of 'Will and Grace', I played Jack as the funny next-door-neighbor type, as we've seen in the past. And I thought that was my role.

But I'm guessing every actor is insecure.

I have the most nervous stomach in the world.

I like to be busy and I like to have places to go in the morning, when I get up.

I'm a huge sci-fi/fantasy/horror guy. I love anything in the sci-fi or fantasy genre.

No, my entire life is planned. It's called time management.

So get accomplished what you want to get accomplished in your life. And in the intervals, do what you can to help other people.

The thing about producing is that the pressure is off of being in front of the camera, and being critiqued and judged in that way, but there are other pressures producing.

Entropy theory is indeed a first attempt to deal with global form; but it has not been dealing with structure. All it says is that a large sum of elements may have properties not found in a smaller sample of them.

Let the one among you who is without sin be the first to cast a stone.
