“I don't call myself a feminist, but I'm married to a very strong woman. Women have been kicking ass for so long. I dated a girl who called herself a feminist and we didn't always get along, so I think I associate the term with a bad relationship I was in, but maybe I should learn more about it.”

“‘When you’re a star, you could do anything’—the offensive thing to me about that was Trump calling himself a star. It’s like ‘Come on, dude.’ It’s not because I consider myself a star, but if I ever heard someone say that, one of my peers, I’d instantly lose respect for them.”

“When Guardians of the Galaxy was pitched to me, I said, ‘I don't think so.’ I just didn't picture myself getting the role. I didn't want to go and embarrass myself like I did when I auditioned for G.I. Joe a couple of years previously. I went in there, and halfway through I saw the director's eyes just glaze over. It made sense—I was a little heavy and out of shape. I was not gonna play someone from G.I. Joe. I did not look like a G.I. Joe action figure come to life.”

“I like clothes now. I have more energy. I sleep better. My sex drive is up. Blood's flowing. I'm less susceptible to impulse. I'm in a different mode. When I was way out of shape, the idea of using whitening strips on my teeth seemed terrible. I have to do that every day? I'll never do it. What you want is instant results when you're out of shape. You want your teeth whitened in 45 minutes with the use of lasers. But when you're in shape, you know it's the result of doing a little bit every day. Moments aren't just moments. A moment might be a week or a month. So instead of Boy, I'd love to eat this hamburger right now, I'm considering a little further into the future. I'm thinking, I eat that hamburger and that's 1,200 calories, and I'm gonna work out tomorrow and lose 800 calories. I may as well eat a salad here, still do that workout, and then I'm actually making progress.”

“I really feel there’s common ground out there that’s missed because we focus on the things that separate us. You’re either the red state or the blue state, the left or the right. Not everything is politics. And maybe that’s something I’d want to help bridge, because I don’t feel represented by either side. I do feel like I relate to everybody—to the struggles of people both out here and where I grew up. I feel like I could have a beer or a meal with just about anyone and find something to relate to.”

“I was an exhibitionist as a kid—always naked—so at 18 I announced I was going to be a stripper. I went for an interview, or an audition? Whatever it is strippers do. I submitted my resumé. And they gave me the job. I did a couple of parties, then this one gal’s 40th when the men suddenly came home early and I had to grab my shit and jump over the fence….And that was pretty much it. But I did OK. I made a couple of hundred bucks.”

“I was close to my father,. He was a difficult man, but I was close to him. My dad was whip-smart, quick with the humor, and had a social intelligence—he knew people. He was tough and strict, from the old school before the old school. Maybe it's me projecting, but I think he understood that life requires you to have a toughness, and a little bit of grit, and fire in your belly. You don't get that by being coddled. He was tough on us.”

“I don't know what it is, but typically when someone's obnoxious, they're not really likable. And Alex and Andy are obnoxious. With Andy on Parks and Recreation and even Bright on Everwood is this: That guy who was probably a douche in high school, who may have peaked in high school, what happens to that guy? All three of these characters are guys who probably have their best days behind them. But, with that comes a sense of sort of a learned humility. What makes the characters endearing may be that they're forced to realize that they're not as badass as they used to be. And then if you play the character who's learned that lesson, it's really hard to dislike that person.”
