Quotes

Zach: People want to laugh. If you combine laughter with compassion, what two stronger things could people want nowadays? (edit)
Zach: I met Evangeline Lilly, and [I told] her my Lost theory: purgatory. She shook her head. 'That is the most common theory. You don't think everybody has thought of that?' (edit)
Zach: (on mishandling babies during the filming of movie, “The Ex”) The only thing I found very difficult was I never really held a baby before, and I didn't know how to do it. The rest of the cast had some experience so they knew that you have to hold the head. Supposedly you have to hold their heads because it's not strong. So the first couple babies, I injured them. The baby you see in the film was number six. One through five they will be fine, but they might walk funny. (edit)
Zach: I'm a romantic. There's something incredibly powerful about finding a lifelong soulmate (edit)
Zach:(On Hollywood's initial reaction to Garden State) Everyone said no. Everyone with a date book and a phone in Los Angeles said no. (edit)
