Quotes

#Quote
1I love soccer, I haven't played since my freshman year of high school, but it's the family sport, so I just wanted to get out here and live my pro dream for one day.
2On playing "Gus" in the series, Psych (2006): The biggest challenge for me is not making Gus too nerdy or too cool. Because Gus is a nerd..the only place that's interesting to me. I think most people have a little bit of both in them anyway. I think that's where the most interesting place is. I think it's fun trying to play cool but not really being cool at all.
3On acting: I learned that the majority of the time, simplicity is the best way to go about things as you peel away the layers...that's when you start finding the gold...I can't say that was from my own acting. That was from observing actors like John Spencer and Martin Sheen...I had a chance just to observe.
4On his role of "Gus" in the television series, Psych (2006): It's nice to have a character who has all this knowledge, especially an African American character--he's a very smart guy, but at the same time he's kind of cool...So it's cool to be smart and vice versa. So if we can have the character live in the balance of these two places, then I think it would be a fun journey.
5On working with James Roday in the series, Psych (2006): We have the chemistry off-camera. I think eventually, I personally think it wouldn't work. We both like to have a lot of fun, and I think that translates to the screen. We're all thankful to have a job.
