Being an actor is a crazy way to spend one's life. It's the love of the game. Blind luck has a lot to do with it. Then you hope when you get your shot that you know what you're doing.
-
Ian McShane's character in 'Deadwood' was awesome.
-
It's just as easy for me to be building a fence somewhere and scraping by on unemployment in between doing a guest star spot. I've been there.
-
I don't think I could last in anything for 10 years doing a character.
-
I love acting, but the star part is not my bag.
-
Moths are okay. Actually, moths don't bother me near as much as, say, spiders do.
-
Working exterior nights in Vancouver, when it's raining and snowing, is a little daunting, when you haven't slept.
-
I have a lot of respect for what I do, for this profession.
-
A family going through a divorce, a child under attack by a demon, all these things I could relate to.
-
Some nights, a romantic dinner can be killed by having to do dishes afterward, so it probably suits you better to go out for dinner. But I love cooking and always have.
-
Shonda Rhimes, especially, saw something in me that no one had and then wrote to my strengths for 'Grey's Anatomy.' That's the job I think really opened up a whole new world for me.
-
Turns out I'm getting old.
-
I wasn't very good at it, but I knew that I loved acting immediately.
-
There were rumors I wasn't going to die. The whole cast was sitting around the table reading the script. I fell on the floor - I'm not kidding. I looked up at Katherine Heigl, and she was crying.
-
I love myself a truffle. I can put a truffle in anything and make it good.
-
I love Bill Murray, but I'm not quite Bill Murray. I wish!
-
I've got a love affair with Harley-Davidson. One of my earliest photos with my dad is of him holding me as a baby on his bike.
-
Alan Moore's first choice to be the Comedian... was Burt Reynolds. But I never saw myself as Burt Reynolds; I saw myself as Edward Blake.
-
I have this weird allergy where metal can't touch my skin.
-
In any character you do, especially something like 'Watchmen,' if you're gonna do this, you're gonna do this right. I'm fighting for the Comedian every step of the way; there's not even a question, Adrian is a scumbag.
-
The work I'm doing on 'Watchmen' is mind bending and physically just hard.
-
Once I got over my initial butterflies, being in the same room and doing a scene with Jimmy Caan was great. I never backed down for one second against him. I loved it. I love those moments. Working with people like that is the greatest joy you can get as an actor.
-
Shooting all day in the rain is not where you want to be.
-
You kick around long enough, and good things can happen.
