I saw the pilot for 'Girls' about six months before it aired.

I was in a mountain biking accident and broke my sternum about three months before my unit was supposed to deploy to Iraq, and it's such a close-knit community that the idea of not getting to go is hugely jarring, so I tried to get put back in training and wound up injuring it worse.

College wasn't something I saw myself doing.

Obviously, 'Lincoln' is not about the telegraph operator. There's a whole other movie before and after the two isolated scenes that I'm in.

I originally passed on 'Girls' because I thought TV was evil.

The most you play a character in the theater is, like, a couple months, and then you put it away.
