“I co-own the ranch with my brother, and he and his wife are really the backbone of the operation.”

“'The Last Seduction,' 'Sleepless in Seattle' and 'While You Were Sleeping' did a lot to get me noticed for bigger roles.”
“It's astounding how challenging plays are... The scary part is that you get to encounter humanity in a way you don't in films. The audience amplifies the experience.”
“There's definitely a pattern of great British shows that get reinvented in America and do really well here, but I think 'Torchwood' is a bit different. It's more of a hybrid that doesn't exist as a reinvention.”
“It's astounding to me that in a country where there is an ever-growing divide between rich and poor, that people won't accept the need for regulation on banks and salaries and so on.”
“Othello is someone who's just had a victory, and it's the aftermath of coming back and attempting to live comfortably as a civilian.”

“If I were born in the 1700s, I would look like a rounded man.”
