Zach Braff

When we shoot 'Scrubs' I spend every waking hour of my life in an abandoned and haunted hospital. All I can date there are ghosts and they tend to be horrible snugglers.

I know every politician spins the truth a little.

I think I suffer from some mild depression.

I don't care about image and all that nonsense. I'm in sweat pants every day. I don't play the game at all.

I procrastinate so much and I get distracted by anything.

I think in a play it's wise to just sit back and watch other actors and be able to shape it from the audience.

I'm a person who likes these sort of movies... sad but moving 'art movies' that normally are at a festival and then they go to a small art house theater and disappear.

I think a lot of people are drawn to seeing people that want to be better. We see it in ourselves.

I'd always fantasized about writing a new play. Even when I had all this success in television, what I was daydreaming about in my dressing room is that one day I would do it.

I'm putting myself out there in a way I don't know if I ever have before.

In theater or movies you see either 'I'm religious' or 'I'm an atheist.' I've never seen too much discussion of 'I believe there's a higher power but I'm hesitant to reach out to him because I don't know if I'm worthy of his attention.'

The success of 'Scrubs' allowed me to pursue anything I felt passionately about without having to worry about money. It allowed me to spend my summer work shopping my show at a nonprofit theater.

I want to take piano lessons, I want to study at university, I want to travel, I want to do other parts, make another movie.

I'm hanging out with my New York friends, my Jersey boys, my family and loving every single second of it.

I love music and I love musicians and when I hear something that's great, I always say it's like you go to a movie and you can't wait to tell your friends about it.

I have no desire to make money off musicians. I just want to promote them because I want to share music.

I really like just super dry comedy.

I had a very funny family.

I went to film school and wanted to learn everything there was about making movies.

I'm sure lots of actors and creative people go through this, where you have some weeks where it's all going according to plan and some weeks where you're super frustrated.

As a kid who wasn't into sports, at school I felt almost alienated at times, whereas in the theatre community there was this amazing sense of camaraderie. Early on, we would go to rehearsals with my dad and I was like the mascot for the backstage crew. That was a big part of my childhood, so I dreamed of one day doing a play in London.

Ever since I was little it was programmed into me that London is where great theatre occurs and all the big shows you love start there.

I always encourage over-tipping if you can afford it because... share the wealth.

In New York, we tip everyone. We tip doormen, we tip cab drivers, and we tip bartenders at the bar. You'll get quite an evil eye if you don't leave a tip at the bar.

I think I felt compelled in a way because if I hadn't written the part, I never would have been offered the part. There are at least 10 guys who would have been offered the part before me.
