It's disgusting that a Broadway show can't try out anymore, that no matter where they are in the world, there is this massive dialogue going on between people damning or praising it.

Theatre demands different muscles and different aspects of one's personality.

I believe that acting in any medium is the same thing, it's discovering the truth in where you are.

The most sinister aspect of Jack is his detachment, his ability to distance himself from his feelings.

I find that everything I do is demanding, like Jack Bristow is a complicated man and I do a lot of explaining in the show, it takes a lot of energy and concentration.

The hardest thing for me is not to keep laughing. Jennifer particularly is like a clown.

In our show you have to pay attention and know what happened before. I think it's very intelligent entertainment. It makes demands of viewers that a lot of shows don't.

Thank goodness I started getting movie roles and then television shows came along. So I was very fortunate to be able to do all three and I like all of them.

If you were to come to the set of Alias, you'd know how silly we all are. And I mean, silly.

I've been amazed that it's so popular with people. But it's been fantastic. People are very excited when I walk into a place and they recognize me from the series.

That's why, when Alias came along, I knew I'd be OK if the show was on for five or six years because the writing was so good and the creative team was so strong.

...And if reading could banish the idea for even half an hour, it was something gained.

Make an impact with your connections. You don’t only connect because you want to get people who will help you. You also connect in order to get to know who you can help.

This is one of the cruelties of the theatre of life

I think if you can take care of yourself, and then maybe try to take care of someone else, that's sort of how you're supposed to live.

The more a thing is perfect, the more it feels pleasure and likewise pain.

We don't know all the reasons that propel us on a spiritual journey, but somehow our life compels us to go.

But my miracle was different. My miracle was this: out of all the houses in all the subdivisions in all of Florida, I ended up living next door to Margo Roth Spiegelman.

Wherever the poetry of myth is interpreted as biography, history, or science, it is killed.

Life's what you make it

While I'm writing, I'm far away; and when I come back, I've gone.
