RYAN EGGOLD

I play the guitar and the piano and have a group of guys who I play with. They're uber talented.

So many limits in Catholic high school! I'm not a bad Catholic, but everything was off-limits.

I never got why actors don't like it when a fan comes up to them on the street. It is cool that someone recognizes what you do and makes you feel like you live in a community.

I wore glasses my whole life, but then I got Lasik eyeball surgery, and I fixed that.

If I couldn't act, I'd really love to try music.

Never stop taking risks. Just keep reaching.

I love all my fam. I have quite possibly the best dad, mom, and sister in the world.

I think all of us could play the teacher because we all grew up with teachers. It's just kind of this peeking-over-the-shoulder presence that we've all grown up knowing.

I think I'll always prefer theater to working in front of the camera. It seems a more distilled form of the craft.

People really give you a hard time when you wear fake glasses out to a bar.

You have to figure out 'who am I?' 'What do I want to do?' 'What do I want to say?'

I have numerous clear glasses at home. I probably have thirty pairs. I think it started for acting. I have tons of clothes that just sit there. But if that one role comes up, I'm going to want that shirt. And I have glasses for that, too.

I'm just a guy who wears TOMS. It's the sad truth.

Mick Jagger was a lightning bolt of strange talent sent from above.

I'm not equipped for the social media thing.

I wouldn't say I handle attention well. I'd say I stumble over pick-up lines poorly. I'm not good at any of that.

I've been on a lot of sets, and I've been around a lot of directors, and I've been working for many years now, but stepping in the shoes of being the decision maker and the guy that everybody is relying on at some point, yeah, it was challenging for sure. One thing is that you're responsible for a large group of people.

Marriage, for whatever reason, has always both interested and terrified me.

Jon Bokenkamp is awesome.

I never have cash on me.

One summer, my friend and I went to summer camp, and I acted in some plays there, and I fell in love with it.

In terms of directing, there's a number of directors who definitely had a great impact on me, Woody Allen certainly being one of them.

Making music and writing kind of come from the same creative place.

It's a luxurious complaint to have as an actor, but playing the same character for many years can become routine.

When I'm on a second date with a girl, I'll ask myself, 'Can I marry this person?' And we're just trying to decide between salmon and chicken.
