As an actor, I've been drawn to those characters that are further away from who I may be.

I'm a guy desperately in need of buffers. I have big feelings, big reactions, big emotions. All the things that serve me as an artist, but challenge me as a socially-responsible human being.

I always have a sense of where I want to end each season, emotionally and relationship wise and with the theme, and I'm always able to hit that.

The lazy blogosphere has given up on journalism and now trolls Twitter for their on-the-record in-depth articles.

I love being able to stay real to the world.

All the people who follow me on Twitter know my sense of humor. I sometimes forget the blogosphere will give it more weight than I intended.

I can be arrogant, I can be insufferable.

My production team doesn't like not knowing what anything is going to look like, but creatively, that's fun.

I think there's a part of me that feels the need to hide a little bit behind a character.

Unlike fiction, which you create before you go into production, with reality you kind of create it after everything is produced. The drama and the storytelling is really done in post.

I've learned in most areas of my life, to bounce heated choices off other people. Co-workers, my agent, my wife, a sponsor, etc. A majority of the time, that keeps me on the right side of things.

Their love story had ended long ago, and yet one smile from him brought it all back, the joy, the heartache, everything. True love stories never have endings.

At best, the natural good-nature is edged with complaint or has changed into sullenness and gloom. And now and then it blazes forth in veiled but hot anger.

In narrative films, you set up reality, so you can limit the variables. You don't have that luxury with docs.

If GM had kept up with technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving $25 cars that got 1,000 MPG.

Changes are not only possible and predictable, but to deny them is to be an accomplice to one's own unnecessary vegetation.

Life's pretty good, and why wouldn't it be? I'm a pirate, after all.

The more competition, the better. I hope to get snubbed again this year.

I can go into restaurants and a whole table will get up and clap if they recognize me, because they love Fox News. Other places - or even the same place - people will turn the other way.

I think what teenagers lack is the belief that they can be unique and extraordinary in life. Make the most of your age because you're not going to be a teenager forever!
