ON WOMEN: “I don’t like the skinny model types. I like normal people. My dream girl would work in a dentist’s office or be a librarian or a schoolteacher -- a nice girl from Michigan who’s had her hands in the earth and who sometimes gets confused between Prada and Banana Republic. I’m either with someone with the potential of it being very serious or I’d rather wake up with my dog.”

ON DOGS (AND HIS OBSESSION): “I point out to my mom there are much worse things to be obsessed about. I’ve had Millie since she was about seven weeks, and she basically didn’t leave my side for the first year, so she likes to hang out wherever I am. I can’t say that I don’t love it. It’s so nice to come home at the end of the day and have that source of unconditional friendship.”

ON DOGS (SOME MORE): “I was on Facebook for about five minutes, under Millie’s name. I’d come home a little drunk once in a while, and I’d just start surfing, and every time I saw a picture profile that had a dog, I’d invite them as a friend. I had friends from South Africa and Israel and China. It was an invitation-only type of thing. [Laughs.] It was so lame.”
