People will have an altered idea of who you are unless they really take time to get to know you, which of course they don't. They just get what they see, and they take that to the bank.

I'd like to find great roles close to home and work on great projects while staying near my family. My family's the most important thing to me right now.

I'm not as focused on my acting career as I have been in the past.

Aaron Echolls is one of the best characters that I've ever played.

If you play a gay role, it sticks more than it does if an actor were to play a murderer or a psychopath.

I loved playing (Aaron Echols on 'Veronica Mars.') I was really sad when I got my head blown off, but...that seems to happen to me. I seem to be murdered on all of these shows. But, okay, as long as the checks don't bounce, I'm all right with that. Besides, when Aaron Echols was killed, as I recall, he'd just had sex with a beautiful young girl, he was smoking a Cuban cigar and drinking a rare, 18-year-old brandy, and watching himself on television. If you gotta go, I think that's probably the way to go.
