My wife likes the hockey smell because it's the smell of a warrior.

I definitely had a wild phase.

I graduated from Brown in 2001, moved to New York, and spent a year and a half just looking up 'Backstage' magazine auditions and grinding.

It's just nice to be employed.

I always try to be cautiously optimistic.

I like knowing where I stand, being able to be honest about what I think, comfortable with how I feel and genuine about what I say.

How much did a degree and a neat resume really prepare someone for a job? The Alan Turings and Claude Shannons of the world had been eccentric, inventive, forceful people. Rule breakers. The people at Bletchley Park and Room 40 didn’t stop to check boxes; they got the job done no matter what the cost.

If you don’t know how to play hockey, learn. If you quit, get back out there.

There’s a lot more to being human than being smart.

Inefficiency is imagination. It’s singing in the rain and vaudeville shows and sandcastles and whimsy and falling in love and yearning for our dreams to come true. Inefficiency is the best part of who we are.
