I grew up in Michigan, so I played hockey, football and basketball. I played a little bit of lacrosse, too. My brother played more lacrosse and ran track.

I’m stupidly curious. I will go and touch anything until I find out that it’s very harmful.

At the end of the day, if you can't say a line right, it does not matter who your contacts are.

I've always loved drama. This is a blessing because I can show a little bit of what I can do, and hopefully more, in the future.

Yeah, it's scary. During filming, it wasn't just jitters from being the newer guy there or the greenest guy there. It was also fear of not messing up such an important character.

I want to stretch myself. Another reason why I'm so fortunate is that this is a drama and I've been brought up in comedy.

Many people, not just Asians, are more concerned with hustling and getting to meetings with contacts to gain success.

I took up boxing to get in shape for filming because it's grueling - all the running, the heat, the yelling, the crying that we do.

I was raised in a Christian household and heard a lot of praise music, so that's what helps me get to an emotional place.

What brought me to L.A. was work! I moved to Chicago after college - I went to Kalamazoo - did my nerd thing, graduated, and moved to Chicago to pursue improv.

I'm good at keeping secrets, but if it's not something super serious I usually tell people not to tell me because I'll tell someone else.

I like spiritual songs. They struck me as truthful and serious. They brought me down to earth and they lifted me up all in the same moment.

Directing is something that I'd been wanting and hoping to do, as I've grown into myself.

When I go to shows, I'm really looking forward to hearing the songs I know. I don't like it when a band tries to expose me to new stuff.

No one before you has gotten to me this way.

Epigram and truth are rarely commensurate. Truth has to get somewhat chiseled, as it were, before it will fit into an epigram.

And I swear, if there is a way for us to be together, I will find it. No matter how long it takes. If I have to chase your soul to the ends of eternity, I won't stop until I find you, I promise.

I think it's sinful to give the audience material it knows already, whether the material is about race relations or the car culture or the depiction and placement of a candy bar.

Order is ... the true key to rapidity of reaction.

There are endless treasures of grace waiting for those who will make even the most feeble attempts to pray. The weakest prayers yield grace.

The thing about it is almost everyone could pass that way, but we were kept from doing it by our coaches.
