People who don't want to give a creator money are never going to give a creator money.

If the world were a bar, America would currently be the angry drunk waving around a loaded gun. Yeah, the other people in the bar may be afraid of him, but they sure as hell don't respect him.

Even when I was little, people would always ask me if I wanted to be a movie star, and I would always say, 'No, I just want to be an actor.'

If you enjoyed making a thing, and you're proud of the thing you made, that's enough. Not everyone is going to like it, and that's okay.

I spent a lot of my childhood not fitting in, in a lot of different ways.

Some ISPs are blocking all BitTorrent traffic, because BitTorrent can be used to share files in a piratical way. Hollywood lobbying groups are trying to pass laws which would force ISPs to block or degrade BitTorrent traffic, too. Personally, I think this is like closing down freeways because a bank robber could use them to get away.

One of the things that drives me crazy is the belief in Hollywood that bittorrent exists solely for stealing things.

Keep playing games. Make time to play games with your friends and family because its surprisingly heartbreaking to wipe a thin layer of dust off a game you love before you put it back on the shelf because the real world is calling you.

I've done a lot of geeky things in my life, but I think the geekiest of all was my first effort to build props and cosplay, when I was about twelve years-old.

I would love to find myself in a position where I have to decide, 'Gosh, do I want to be on a series?'

My wife is the most awesome person in the universe. She's made this experience much less miserable for me, with her compassion, patience and understanding.

When you say a 'former child star,' you may as well say 'failed child star.'

Even when I was little and going on auditions, it was clear who was there because they wanted to be there, and who was there because their stage parents were making them be there. There was a major difference.

I'm guess I'm up to about 70% of normal, which is a real relief. My doctor gave me clearance to go out in public again, so I've been able to go to the store and help out a little bit around the house.

When you get a group of kids together, especially boys, the psychology of those kids requires that they find a weak kid or a sensitive kid or a soft kid.

I was obsessed with 'Ghostbusters.'
