I like acting because I get to find different parts of myself, or at least create different parts that don't already exist, and see the world through someone else's eyes.

Everyone has secrets and everyone tells lies.

Anything crime related and anything excessively bloody and violent, my brain immediately goes to the science. I think about, "How did you do this? How can we catch you?"

How can you go wrong with playing around on a superhero show? Just the way that they do things and watching them do their thing was amazing to me. Also, superheroes are awesome!

The first show I ever worked on was The Killing, which was a whodunit crime show.

At times, he admitted, he had been very happy in the apple business. He knew what Larch would have told him: that his happiness was not the point, or that it wasn't as important as his usefulness.

Most modern reproducers of life, even including the camera, really repudiate it. We gulp down evil, choke at good.

We have cultural depth. We get all kinds of stuff to chew on, to live on.

In no other profession are the penalties for employing untrained personnel so appalling or so irrevocable as in the military.

There's no symmetry in nature. One eye is never exactly the same as the other. There's always a difference. We all have a more or less crooked nose and an irregular mouth.

There are only two things. Truth and lies. Truth is indivisible, hence it cannot recognize itself; anyone who wants to recognize it has to be a lie.

There can't be opportunity or jobs without investment and profit.

It takes a long time to appreciate one's parents.

The biggest secret of self-esteem is this: Begin to appreciate other people more; show respect for any human being merely because he is a child of God and therefore a thing of value.
