I hate to say it because I feel like it might be a jinx, but yes - knock on wood - I have never broken a bone.

I usually spend the hiatus of 'Dexter' in New York in a way to balance things.

I love that there's a beginning, middle and end to a film and you can craft what the whole journey is going to look like.

Well, I made an announcement to my family at 8 that I wanted to be an actor, and I focused like a laser beam on it. I never had a fallback plan.

It's sacred for an actor to keep their personal life personal.

My sister is a chiropractor and she says I have an unusually flexible lower back, but I don't do yoga, and I don't feel like I'm very bendy.

My laundry list of wants in a partner is basically kindness. I want someone who is kind, and that's kind of where it begins and ends. I'm open to being surprised.

It's fun to branch out a bit. I feel like I've held a lot of tricks up my sleeve for a lot of years, and 'Ex-Girlfriends' is a good way to show another side of me.

I read Christopher McDougall's book 'Born to Run.' If running were a religion, this would be its bible. I actually scribbled my favorite passages on my arm to read during the race.

Practice being in the moment when you are running, whether you are on your own or in the race.

It's always been a dream of mine to be in a Woody Allen comedy.

Woven words are little conviction when I present myself as a man of fiction.

People from different cultures have different definitions for beauty. Isn't that sad to judge others with our standards... rather than appreciate them?

Rebuke her/him who rejects the kingdom

Show respect for everyone who works for a living, regardless of how trivial their job.

I act here and there but you have to commit so far out in advance when you're directing that you - I'm kind of booked six months out, so it's hard.

Dolls are like small dead people.

... the wing of a fly is proof enough of the existence of God for me.

As for collaboration - I have done a lot, 26 books, and found publishers increasingly resistive to them. It's not that the books are bad; editors won't even read them.

Pleasure is far sweeter as a recreation than a business.

I wanted to make Canadian films, and I ended up making American films.
