"I can intellectualize myself out of anything." — James Van Der Beek

At a young age, acting was so inspiring and exciting, because to me it was play - make-believe, pretend.

I was dyslexic, so math and formulas were not necessarily my strong suit.

When you're the lead of a series, things happen around you, and you react to them.

I love New York City. Everyone is busy with their own lives - and no one is interested in some Hollywood celebrity walking past in downtown Manhattan. That's why it's my favorite city. You can do what you want without attracting a crowd of curious onlookers.
