I'm a guy desperately in need of buffers. I have big feelings, big reactions, big emotions. All the things that serve me as an artist, but challenge me as a socially-responsible human being.

I always have a sense of where I want to end each season, emotionally and relationship wise and with the theme, and I'm always able to hit that.

The lazy blogosphere has given up on journalism and now trolls Twitter for their on-the-record in-depth articles.

I love being able to stay real to the world.

All the people who follow me on Twitter know my sense of humor. I sometimes forget the blogosphere will give it more weight than I intended.

I can be arrogant, I can be insufferable.

My production team doesn't like not knowing what anything is going to look like, but creatively, that's fun.

I divide my time badly.

My journey has been that of a character actor.

Life is simple unless we find a way to make it complicated.

In climbing, having confidence in your partners is no small concern. One climber's actions can affect the welfare of the entire team.

The history of the Church is the rise and progress of the kingdom of heaven upon earth, for the glory of God and the salvation of the world.

I'm very grateful to be where I'm at and be able to play. That's really the bottom line for me. Survival and being able to play.

What is a socialist? One who has yearnings To share equal profits from unequal earnings.

The only fountain in the wilderness of life, where man drinks of water totally unmixed with bitterness, is that which gushes for him in the calm and shady recess of domestic life.
