| 1 | I like to try the scene over and over, but given the confines of television, I don’t have that option. |
| 2 | You put a movie star or a bunch of movie stars in a movie, it doesn’t mean people are gonna go see it. It’s been proven time and time again. |
| 3 | I’ve never directed anything before ‘Mad Men,’ so I don’t feel I have any advice for the other directors. |
| 4 | When I was growing up, the top movies dealt with grown-up, complex emotions. |
| 5 | I’ve done a lot of pilots. A lot of shows. You’re young and you do a job just because you know someone gave you a job. |
| 6 | And I don’t want to jump out of an airplane – I’ve done that. |
| 7 | I guess, you make a big studio film, you spend a lot of money on it and you hope people go see it. It’s really risky. |
| 8 | Characters can become boring. That’s what’s tricky about television. It goes on and on – you’re playing this same character for five seasons and it gets easy to fall into just walking on the set and assuming you know how to play a scene. |
| 9 | I don’t have to worry about how my movies sell because I’m not the guy in front. |
| 10 | I think I gravitate towards people who express themselves in a simple and funny way. |
| 11 | I was a horrible limo driver: I ran out of gas with passengers in the back and I used to get lost on a regular basis. |
| 12 | Let’s face it, making movies is all risk. Most of the time, batting average-wise, the reward does not outweigh the risk. |
| 13 | I think the moments that are difficult for anybody are when you see what your life could be, if only you had the courage to take the steps needed. |
| 14 | My wife tells me I need to learn to be more patient with my son. |
| 15 | When I first started, I was kind of surprised that anyone would ever hire me at all. So I took everything that I was offered. |
| 16 | Memories are just stories we tell ourselves about our past; and that’s often why they don’t match when we’ve shared the same experiences with someone. |
| 17 | But the path you end up on means that you have to close a lot of doors, too. |
| 18 | Viewers can hate a character and at the same time can’t take their eyes off of him. |
| 19 | For some reason surfing… I’m not scared of the ocean so the risk doesn’t seem as great to me. |
| 20 | The rule of surfing is never tell anyone where you go. |
