“The beauty of 'NCIS' is that all the characters are a little different.”

“From the moment I was a teenager, I wanted to be a father, wanted to be a family man.”

“Over time, the lines blur sometimes. A little of you comes into the character.”

“I think any time you put a new character inside a wall of characters you have pre-existing, you can have some fun with that.”

“I love playing the stuff with McGee at home with Delilah. We've had episodes where it shows them at home arguing over making dinner and things like that. I love doing that stuff because it's different than what the show normally does.”

“I have a very close relationship with my father. We're in no way estranged.”

“I'm a friend of silence.”

“Tough guy moments are fun to do sometimes.”

“I think McGee is a pretty solid character.”

“Once I get into wardrobe and tuck the shirt in and everything, that's when McGee starts to come alive.”

“In my 20s, I visited Vegas quite frequently, and I still like to get out there when the opportunity presents itself.”

“My father was in the navy and so while he was deployed soon after I was born we moved to Australia.”

“People are afraid of change, but change can also mean possibilities and new things to explore.”

“When I first worked with Mark Harmon I was 15 years old on 'Harts of the West.' He had a pretty heavy guest role as a drunken rodeo clown in our second or third episode.”

“I have a baby face and look similar to when I was younger.”

“I'm basically a music nerd, especially when it comes to electronic music.”

“Truth be told, people in federal agencies aren't running around shooting all over the place.”

“I'm always a fan of the cliffhanger season finale. I recall the first season of 'Twin Peaks' - I'm a huge David Lynch fan - it was almost a takeoff of cliffhangers. They had around 20 of them happen in that finale.”

“I have never been on a cleanse, no. I have no interest in it.”

“I like to work a lot.”
