I do like taking on responsibility, sometimes too much. But I was aware of that early on and it's something that came up in the previous set of interviews, and that is the actor‛s contribution.

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 was an English major, so I love discussing possibilities and alternate theories.

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

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

I don't think that necessarily I was encouraged by the nuns and the priest to consider alternate possibilities to the universe.

Too many people die early, either tragically or natural death, because they did not treat their lives with any sense of value.

All we need to know about the storms is this: Storms are born, they live and they die! And they destroy anything wildly, just like we do in wars!

Thank God that I get to do what I get to do; there's no way to tell you how grateful I am.

An allegory is not meant to be taken literally. There is a great lack of comprehension on the part of some readers.

The closure of the book is an illusion largely created by its materiality, its cover. Once the book is considered on the plane of its significance, it threatens infinity.

Good men are bound by conscience and liberated by accountability.
