Good roles are hard to come by, and whether they're a few lines or a lead, you snap 'em up when they come along

Right before I got 'Sons of Anarchy,' I actually quit acting for 18 months and didnt read a single script, and I wrote a film. I felt like I needed to do something that I had control over, as an artist, and also just do something where I felt like I had some control over my life, as just a human, out in the world.

I realise few people get to live the life they always wanted, but I'm so neurotic, I don't really think about it. I'm too busy thinking, 'I hope I don't screw up my next scene.

I've been profoundly germophobic since I was a young child. I don't want to kiss anyone but my girlfriend for my whole life.

There are definitely worse people to be compared with. I think Brad Pitt makes interesting decisions.

I think the work is always going to be much better when it's important and personal to you.

I mean I’m 16 and 17 years wiser now. So if I could do it when I was 18 with a guy, I can certainly do it at 33 with a lady.
