I am the god of being messy - I'm trying to get better. I was terrible in my 20s. My kids are much tidier than I am, I don't know where they get it from, maybe their mother.

I actually love working with accents. I don't know, something about it unlocks something in me. It makes me concentrate on getting into character a little more, helps me find a focus.

I love whiskey and haggis. I can't get enough of either.

It’s been such an honor to be your Owen Hunt

If a man comes up to me, I'm almost sure he's going to mention Rome, if it's a woman, it'll be 'Grey's Anatomy.'

I'm always very excited by something that's a curveball or from left field.

I was asked to be in the last two 'Harry Potter' films and I couldn't do it because I was busy filming 'Grey's Anatomy.

Grey's' is just a machine. I wasn't really prepared for the epic nature of how popular the show is.

One of my complaints with American TV characters is that they all have a particular schtick, a hook.

I really just like acting. I'm not always aware of what is hip and what is popular and what is zeitgeist.

It's a roll of the dice in the movie business. I mean, every single movie is a roll of the dice. Any movie on paper could look like it's going to be fantastic. You know what I mean?

The rain begins with a single drop

First conscious thoughts to wake, first guided steps to take. What walk of path not known..... of many moments already born?

What if God doesn’t keep his promises?

Some things become such a part of us that we forget them.

The seed, swollen with moisture, burst asunder its covering of soil and out peers the blade of wheat, full of symbols. So faith, whose bosom is filled with goodly fruits, is a blade of praise.

There is something nice about wearing the same thing everyday, having that go-to.

There is a phase in the life of every copy editor when she is obsessed with hyphens.

I don't know what the character is going to be. We sit down and we create a character, and all of the characters in all of my films are made like that.

I'm not interested in doing something edgy with a capital E just so everyone knows, 'Oh, OK, now he's showing us he can do edgy.'
