It's always been a dream of mine to be in a Woody Allen comedy.

I never thought that I would be so attracted to television, but I don't think gigs like 'Dexter' come along too often.

I just want to be with great teachers. If that means I'm in a horror film with good teachers, I'll do another horror film. But I would love to branch out and do more comedy or just more straight dramas.

In school, I was always being cast as the clown. And then I did The Exorcism of Emily Rose (2005), and once people hear you scream, they can't un-hear it. But I don't mean to say that I've been typecast, either.

Well, I made an announcement to my family at 8 that I wanted to be an actor, and I focused like a laser beam on it. I never had a fallback plan.

I usually spend the hiatus of 'Dexter' in New York in a way to balance things.

I have learned that keeping my personal life outside of work is the easier, richer way to work.
