I grew up in such a small area that there really weren't any acting classes. So I had to wait till I got to college.

It's not like I'm that wildly famous that it's disrupted my lifestyle in some way.

There's nothing more fun than putting on an old costume and jewelry and being in a house that's decorated from the '20s or '30s or whatever.

Part of what makes me love acting so much is, I love the mystery of the universe and the human experience, and storytelling is a great way to perform that, and that is always inspiring to me.

Usually, I play the bad guy, so it's been a pleasant break to play a good guy.

People inspire me. Curiosity inspires me. Mystery inspires me.

From a small seed a mighty trunk may grow.

I'm really paying attention. People make up their minds late.

I do think we can be a little less PC when it comes to sports, though. Just once I want to hear an announcer go 'God, black people are fast. Holy cow! All of them. They're fast. Back to you Bob.'

The only people I really hate are servants. They're not really human beings at all.

Loving can be hard. Sometimes we don't feel loving, but it isn't all about feeling. Very often it is about will. Practice that if you can.

But it's hard for a chick to do comedy. It's not as open for them.

My ambition is to be happy.

Could your medicine be a cell, not a pill? Could your medicine be an organ that's created outside the body? Could your medicine be an environment?

Calculus is the most powerful weapon of thought yet devised by the wit of man.
