I can be a bit of a science geek. I tend more towards reading about brain science, neuroscience.

In the summer of 2009, I was at the Shakespeare lab at the public theater in New York.

I would not call myself Catholic anymore, but I went to 16 years of Catholic school: grade school, high school and college.

One of the great things about having been on Lost is people coming up and feeling so enthusiastic about the show and saying, "Oh it provided us so much entertainment," or "It inspired conversations."

I love classical music and often listen to symphonies or opera in the morning.

I guess every actor has certain emotions they can access easier than others.

You accuse a woman of wavering affections, but don't blame her; she is just looking for a consistent man.

Nowhere are our calculations more frequently upset than in war.

I'm tired, but proud.

Where there is no difficulty there is no praise.
