“I would have been a lot more nervous if I would had known that Matthew McConaughey was [on 30th Annual Television Critics Association Awards] and Julia Louis-Dreyfus was there and all that, and I was like, "Wait a minute and Bryan Cranston's here..."

“I kind of put myself out there a lot just because I trust the people I'm working with. You have to see what works and what doesn't.

He never looks at his career as an obstacle, he only looks at the positives. He's done... he knows, he has an opportunity.
