Everyone fails. Everyone is constantly failing. It is all part of life, and especially this job of being an actor.

I think it is important to know when to be hard on yourself and when to let things go, but always keep going.

Im so happy with The Blacklist. Give me more people to shoot and throw them off buildings.

Cardio is boring for me, so running outside helps to keep me going.

I mean, Robert Pattinson. No, I’m kidding, I shouldn’t say that. He’s actually really nice. My neighbour works with him and said he was a great guy. I don’t know to be honest, I don’t really model myself after anybody. You’re always just trying to create opportunities and be ready when those opportunities present themselves. I can’t look at anybody and think ‘I want to be Damian Lewis’ – I’d be setting myself up for failure.

It is hard not to be inspired when you're living in New York. It doesn't matter what you do. I think that there is so much going on in this city. I like walking around or taking the subway, thinking about all the history here, looking at the architecture and all the people; of course, the museums. It's tough to find a better place to live.
