I have learned that keeping my personal life outside of work is the easier, richer way to work.

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

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 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.

I would come to L.A. for a job, but I love New York.

Life does not count by years. Some suffer a lifetime in a day, and so grow old between the rising and the setting of the sun.

I'm trying to figure out the trick of working to live as opposed to living to work, but I don't know if I've quite stumbled upon it just yet.

No man can be an exile if he remembers that all the world is one city.

I don't attach importance to great speeches or philosophy.

I danced in a Lifetime film. We shot in Canada and I got to work with a lot of the dancers who do So You Think You Can Dance, Canada.

The one thing I never questioned about my mother was whether she loved me.

Most everything means nothing, except some things that mean everything.

If truth is the main casualty in war, ambiguity is another.

All spiritual life begins with a sense of wonder, and nature is a window into that wonder.
