When I was a kid, I used to be way more nerdy about comic books and comic book characters. I still love them, but I don't collect anymore.

Oh I've done bungee jumping. Skydiving, I have motorcycles that I ride. I'm a little bit of an adrenaline junkie in that way.

What is your peace all about? What is your comfort all about? Where do you get your love? Where do you get your talents? And I can turn to them and say without blinking, ‘Jesus Christ.’

Nerd. One whose unbridled passion for something defines who they are as a person, without fear of other people's judgment.

I do think about The Flash often. I think that could be a really fun role to play at some point. That's right up my alley. I just want somebody to believe in me that I could be a Superhero.

As far as being an actor is concerned, you have to have passion. If you're not bringing the passion of the character into the room with you, you might as well not come into the room at all.

I am afraid for my health. I'm definitely burning the candle a little, at both ends, and I have to be careful about that.

I hope there's always at least a small part of me that's always surprised, always taken aback, always childlike or innocent.

I wish it was a little easier for an actor to later go into singing and have it be accepted, but maybe I can still do it.

I could probably give you a list of a dozen pet peeves I have about my own physicality and why I couldn't get a second date.

What resonates with people is that it feels like you actually are thinking of them.

I truly do not know, and that unnameable feeling that comes with not knowing: it must be worse than grief. It must.

When you're a professional you come back no matter what happened the day before.

Tears are nature's lotion for the eyes. The eyes see better for being washed by them.

I am a Christian. So, I have a deep faith. So I draw from the Christian faith...So, I'm rooted in the Christian tradition. I believe that there are many paths to the same place.

And where does the power come from, to see the race to its end? From within.

We grew up as poor people but we never knew poverty. I still love and miss the Somalia I grew up in. Things changed, when my father became a diplomat later on.

I picked up reading late because I grew up dyslexic. When I went to college, a friend who was a big reader got me started on a number of writers, including Hemingway.

I just wanted to do something important.

Anything that makes you happy can make you sad.
