Zach Braff

“I think when you're a director, it's not you're looking for something, you're looking for someone.”

“What I'm trying to do is make a movie that's not just a slapstick comedy.”

“I'm the kind of person who would have a real hard time doing a procedural show. I'm a big fan of character-driven stuff.”

“I'm not a big fan of the thought that you can become a star by winning a contest. I'm a big fan of going to acting school and learning your craft.”

“I think it's important to be a little bit of a nerd. I think that's what makes you interesting.”

“I'm a big fan of the Foo Fighters, and I have been for a long time.”

“I'm not a person who has a lot of regrets. I'm a person who has a lot of learning experiences.”

“I tried to be a goth for a while. I'd ridiculously over-blacken my eyes and wear t-shirts with the names of bands who didn't even exist.”

“I have the same friends I've had since I was 12. I've got a very close set of friends.”

“I love directing. I'm so much more in my element when I'm directing.”

“I would love to be in a Nicholas Sparks movie. It would be my dream. I'm a hopeless romantic.”

“I love romantic comedies. I have a real soft spot for them.”

“I don't believe that you can be too personal. I think that's the way you want to be.”

“I think the 'Scrubs' finale is the best finale of a series that I've ever seen.”

“I think the best comedy is born from a place of truth.”

“I love the theater. I love the thrill of the live audience.”

“For me, my 20s were all about reaching for the brass ring. A little bit of a Peter Pan complex.”
