“I'm really enjoying the process of learning to fly. How it will fit into my life down the road - I'm looking forward to discovering that.”

“I think you've got to take your time and make sure you're making choices that are smart for you.”

“I put a lot of pressure on myself and I think I am quite... well, intense about driving other people.”

“I turn a lot of stuff down - big, big movies, the kind I wouldn't want to go to the cinema to see.”

“I'm sorry, but I can't make a movie with the blonde from 'ER' who is starring in every single bad romantic comedy.”

“I enjoy a four-seasonal climate and wide-open spaces, so being on an island 2,500 miles into the South Pacific made me feel a little claustrophobic.”

“Any time I need to be really physical, and a role requires that, you're kind of viscerally activated by being that physical in it. It takes away the thought process, which is fun.”

“I'm not really a tropical paradise kind of person.”

“I didn't learn to swim until I was 21 or something because I grew up in the mountains in Wyoming and all the water is glacier runoff and cold.”

“I'm an actor. I try to play a character in a really cool story, the very best I can.”

“I directed an episode of 'Party of Five' toward the very end of that show. It was a great experience.”

“If you look at men's roles for the last thousand years, the desire is fundamental. We want to take care of, provide for, and be of service to... women.”

“I'll put it to you this way: I never, ever think about the things that I get involved with on a macro means-to-an-ends scale.”

“where does creativity come from? Creativity comes from the Universe itself. “There is music and poetry in the Universe itself — surely we hear it on planet earth.” And Creativity comes from our joys and sorrows, our deep-hearted experiences. It also comes “from and in the heart of God. All our spiritual traditions the world over agree that creativity follows through the human heart and that it flows from the Divine Heart.”Creativity is seen as a spiritual, inwardly-driven activity, directly influenced by a Higher Power, or God. That is the ultimate in inspiration for me: to know I have “permission” to be creative and to be a creator too.”

“But, sooner or later I'd love to do a comedy. I mean I think that, you know, people don't think that that's in my wheelhouse because I've sort of played a lot of dramatic stuff and that's certainly a side of myself that I want at some point in the right context, in the right stuff, that I find really funny.”
