Oh my God, I'm so excited. I love Comic-Con, it feels like a weird nerd camp. All my nerd friends are there and all the comic book writers I know and then a lot of actors, too, and you hang out with these people for just a few days, but you hang out with them all day, every day. It's like camp--it's like a weird camp. I love it. Show less «

There's something really amazing about watching an actor like Michael C. Hall or Jennifer Carpenter, who are completely professional and do everything so brilliantly, but yet can have a really great time on set. Show less «

I shaved my head when I was 14--is that bad? I asked my dad's permission first. He said, "You're gonna look like a boy". And I said,"OK" . . . then I did it anyway. All through high school, I had a shaved head and I'd dye it crazy colors--it was fun. Show less «

I need poise. I'm just so clumsy that it would kind of save me a lot.

I'm always excited to work and excited to be on a show as good as Dexter (2006), for sure.
