“It was just a really thrilling little ride on this big world of 'Sons of Anarchy.'”

“Well Bill Martin and Mike Schiff were the creators and they knew we had to do a family show. Everybody came at it from the angle of having been a kid and a teenager.”

“Follow your deepest dream, the one you had as a kid... but stay focused.”

“Fair or not, it always sucks when everyone wanders back from Sundance talking about how bad the movies were.”

“If someone said, 'Think of a happy place for you,' I'd say a glacial plane near the South Pole, the wind howling, nobody in sight, a shack with a pot-belly stove and some tea.”

“If given that ability, I would definitely be a long-haired, beard person. Ever since third grade, your whole life, there's always someone who's like, 'You better get a haircut.' It's no different in acting, especially when you don't know what role you're going to do next: a doctor, lawyer, a military guy, or whatever.”

“The day I showed up to South Carolina to work, I was with my kid and my ex and our dog and Kirk was hanging with this weird guy and I kind of defined the two of them by his friend and made a vow to avoid him.”

“It didn't get into Sundance although I showed a rough cut which is a mistake to all filmmakers out there.”

“A college football star, by his senior year, is used to running out there with 110,000 people going nuts. They feel comfortable in that environment. To me, a set feels like that. The one thing that I do know is that, as long as I'm prepared, I know this environment and this world.”

“With acting, you gotta wait until someone gives you a role in a play or movie. With writing, you're not dependent on others, you don't have to wait. You can sit down and just create.”

“It's always surprised me that the most successful and really amazing shows are also the happiest environments and very welcoming.”

“I don't know what's coming down the pike in 'Gotham.' Part of me goes, 'Man, I just wish I could be in the writers' room. Do you need someone to make you guys coffee?' I just want to be a part of the flow of it.”

“It was all that stuff about taking your parents' car when you're 13, sneaking booze into rock shows and ditching school with your friends. I could relate to that as a former teenager, rather than as a present parent.”

“Once a film is made and it exists, someone somewhere is going to watch it and that is kind of the magic of it all.”

“My mom, she's from Ireland, coached tennis in Nigeria when she was a missionary and turned me on to it when I was young.”

“It is fun playing villains, for sure.”

“It was hard to do 'Vikings.' It was hard to do 'Copper.' Part of that was, like, there's dialect and other things.”

“To me, the people on 'Copper' were rock stars. Before I joined that show, I loved that show.”

“One of my best and dearest friends in the world is this guy named Robert Burke, who was in 'Rescue Me.'”

“I played on this soccer team, called Hollywood United, and there were a lot of old ex-international pro-players. We played this benefit match at the Rose Bowl, and the crowd streamed in. It's so nerve-wracking to go out into a stadium, feeling a billion eyes upon you when you mess up your touches. That's an overwhelming environment.”
