"FlashForward" was a dream come true. I had auditioned for David Goyer for "Blade: Trinity" and didn't get the part, but I guess he became a fan.

After high school, I went to VCU and got a B.F.A. in theater. I got to do a bunch of stuff professionally throughout college. I actually got my SAG card in college.

In college, I won the Irene Ryan; it's kind of like a collegiate Tony, which got my career going. I was honored. I won a fellowship to the Kennedy Center, and that's where I got my agent.

I can't wait to retire from acting and just sit around and get fat.

I surf - that's the one thing I make time to do. I definitely surf a lot, but when you're working 15 hour days... all I want to do is get home to my baby.

I don't want to name any names, but I've worked on television shows where there's a guy writing for my generation who's like 60 - and it doesn't work.

FlashForward was a really fun show to make. Not to mention, I only worked like, one day a week, and it paid the same as Happy Endings. I got to make out with beautiful women on that show as well.

I've done comedy, and I've done drama. I've sort of been a journeyman in my career so far.

Film work can be tedious and sort of all over the place, especially when you have a family and you're going off and doing things somewhere else.

Big Bang Theory' is not my kind of show. It's not my humor. I don't like multicam comedies. I don't want an audience to tell me when to laugh.

Love everyone, love everything, love every moment, and become the love.

The good will is all — and all the talents are ways to fulfill it.

Trust your ability!

The angels love us. And it's their assignment. They are direct, pure emissaries for God.

They tied me back together, but they didn't use double knots. My insides are draining out of the fault lines in my skin, I can feel it, but every time I check the bandages, they're dry.

But I'm very happy with my life the way it has been turning out. A little time in the country, a little time with the animals and working on behalf of them.

People wear shorts to the Broadway theater. There should be a law against that.

Often parents have a great desire and hopes, and aspirations for their kids but they don't have any practical plans of action.

The world of conceptualized ideas is quite wonderful, even when it's - like Aristotle's Physics - an outmoded book. The physics is not true. But the reasoning is dazzling.
