“As an actor, I want to thank all the casting directors and directors and producers who rejected me horribly and never hired me and didn’t like the way I looked and thought I was nerdy. Because without them beating me down into the ground and making me depressed, I never would have picked up a pen and written my own thing and done it myself around the system. I feel like this is what this night is about, to celebrate people not waiting for permission to make their art. You know, I’m a square peg and I’ve been trying to fit in the round Hollywood hole for a long time. Not everyone is a Joss Whedon that writes square parts. So… Anyway, I hope that inspires other people to do that.”
