The 'Darjeeling Limited' actor - who is married to fashion designer Brady Cunningham - always tries to look for positive aspects to everything he does, even mundane daily chores, but admits it is sometimes a struggle.
He said: "You can be cleaning your house and all of the sudden get an exhilarating feeling. When I'm walking my dog and he does something beautiful - it's all about finding these little pockets of heat in the world. But it's hard. It's like mining for gold."
The 29-year-old star says he has always been a positive person, even when having problems in his youth.
Speaking about the similarities between himself and Ash, the young fox cub son of the titular character he voices in animated movie 'Fantastic Mr. Fox', Jason added to the USA Today newspaper: "I related to that character. I didn't hit a growth spurt until a little bit later.
"I was an athlete, but I would have loved to have been a better athlete. I liked girls who typically liked someone else I knew.
"My dad was a little bit different. He really loved me. I also was different because I tried not to get grumpy."
