When you're young, oddly enough, you're more afraid, more conservative about what it is you have.

We lived in Germany; my father was in the Army, and they figured I would have more consistency at boarding school. That kind of gives you a thick skin.

I think the accent is what a lot of people find attractive. If you take the accent away, I'm a very troll-like individual.

Oddly enough, my grandfather probably had more of an influence on me than my father.

I'm a bit of a coward, and lazy, oddly enough.

To those many millions of you unfamiliar with my work, I play a caddish British doctor in practice with Mindy Kaling on her excellent sitcom 'The Mindy Project.'
