For a Bostonian... we live in the shadow of New York, and to be acknowledged by New Yorkers is really the greatest feeling.

In my freshman year in high school, I went to the only public high school in Boston with a theatre program.

I would like to meet Mikhail Gorbachev. I think it would be great to sit in a room with him...and try to make peace.

I'm a fan of good horror movies.

With acting, it's all about internalizing the character for me and doing all the preparation you can. So the day you first step into your wardrobe, you can walk like the person. That's really the moment where the light bulb goes off. You're nervous; any actor will tell you that. Robert De Niro will probably tell you the same thing. He may not want to share that with you, but he probably goes through it. That's why actors are so neurotic.

When New Kids became really successful, I got a lot of offers to do parts in movies and TV shows, but I was really busy, so I pretty much turned everything down. But I always knew it was something that I would eventually put some energy into.

I like being a leader in real life.
