“I have three brothers and they're all into computers. They're all intellects. My mother would pay me a quarter a page to read a book and I couldn't make 50 cents. I just couldn't do it.”
“To establish yourself as a leading man, you're shooting for the smallest point on the target, and you get a lot of judgment thrown at you. It takes a lot for them to get past everything and just watch your art and what you're doing.”
“We're actually doing something scripted that's totally, you know, we kind of know what's going on, however, we're having to live life and death as the art.”
“I love food. I love drink. I love that social thing.”
“I'm a private kind of person.”
“I like to shoot from the hip.”
“As an actor, it seems like we're always trying to get a job, so when you actually have a job, it's just amazing to get to work on your art on a daily basis and do what you love.”
“When our minds as people normally starts to wrap around things, we start to attach all these ideas to it that really aren't that necessary to the core of it, if you just experience it and kind of go through it.”
“Working in TV, we're in people's living rooms, and everyone has a different relationship to it than with movies. You're there every week; they feel like they know you. They call you by name, and it trips you up.”
“I get to actually experience what it would be like to be a psycho, which is not a fun one, or to be a cowboy, or to be a weird character of some sort. For me, it suits me. It suits my personality. I'm an emotional kind of person anyway.”
“I wanted to do everything. I wanted to be a pilot. I wanted to be a secret agent. I wanted to be a fireman and a doctor, all that. So I related that through movies and stuff.”
“I was doing a lot of boxing through 'Lost,' thrashing a bag at least three days a week. If I had shirtless scenes, I'd do it six days a week.”
“I did seven indies because the independent market used to be a lot better before all the stars were doing independents. As a beginning actor, that's where you started.”
“They put their feelers out for all the names and then they'll cast you up to the point a name steps up, and then it doesn't matter how much they love you, there's a certain marketing value on that name, and there you go.”
“I just didn't have time to deliver a Buffalo accent in a day, so I didn't even try it.”
“At 18, I took a Greyhound bus to New York City, and then I was in city after city, so I was just dying to get to the country. Everywhere I'd go, I'd just shoot out to a national park somewhere and reconnect.”
“I get readings, I sometimes get five a week. You'll feel like a schizophrenic by the end of that week. I don't know who I am any more. You'll be in conversation with a friend and start spitting out dialogue.”
“Even in the middle of tragedy, we find moments of humor, moments of tenderness, of simple happiness.”
“I grew up on a dirt road with brothers.”
“As an actor, to be able to experiment and grow and be pushed, it's been phenomenal for me, and it's given me confidence to move forward.”
