I think I'm not always what I seem.

A month and a half after my first audition, I won the role on Lost.

I adore having people over to my home. My number one reason I love that is because I love to see people at ease with each other.

When I pick a role, one of the things that I aspire to is that somebody's parent will come up to me after the film has come out and say, "My daughter idealizes that character. You're her hero." That's what I aim for. We're in the business of making heroes.

I'm surrounded by people who care about me and love me. I have a great job. I have wonderful roommates who take care of me. I have a family who adores me.

My valentine is always my dad.

I just don't think that a lot of the time the messages we send kids prepare them for real life.
