I love the creating part of taking on a character. It is fun to BE another person and create what it would be like to be that person.

My favorite on screen moments are when you are really there and you know you're creating something. That's so exciting... it's why you come to work.

I like to feel that something's alive in acting, like something's really going on.

When you're being real, that's endearing to an audience. When you're not being real and you're making jumps to things that don't really follow how they would in reality, people don't appreciate that.

I'm a big sports guy - golf, tennis, baseball, basketball, snowboarding - and I love games.

I did a couple of American Express commercials.

I learned how to get in shape without getting certain muscles too big that make you look like a meathead.

I like to throw my own punches when I can, as would any guy. You can always tell when it's somebody in a wig. It's cool when it comes up to your face and it's still you in the fight.

Have fun. Keep your integrity. Do what you want to do and stay true to that.

All I have is me, myself and I and we are all getting really tired of each other.

Eventually you can't help but figure out that, while gender is a construct, so is a traffic light, and if you ignore either of them, you get hit by cars. Which, also, are constructs.

I do like what Alicia Keys and John Legend are doing. With their music, you keep your clothes on.

I don't know if it's a romantic comedy but I'm in the beginning of the first of the season of 'The West Wing.' We shot it last year. I don't know. If anyone asks me to be in one, I'll jump on it.

It is not sufficient to be worthy of respect in order to be respected.

If you are in front of a wall that you cannot get past, would you just keep banging your head into the wall?... No, you would find a new wall.

A British declaration be taken against Martinez for 'capturing and robbing us.

Prayer is the difference between you fighting for God and God fighting for you. Secret prayer is our secret weapon.

I had learned to dwell with pleasure, as a beloved daydream, on the thought of the separation of these elements.

I guess my mantra is you have to work really hard if you want something. You have to be committed to hard work and persistence even when it gets tough.
