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

I read Christopher McDougall's book 'Born to Run.' If running were a religion, this would be its bible. I actually scribbled my favorite passages on my arm to read during the race.

When I first got to L.A., I was stretching $20 a week, waiting tables, and I did that for about six months. I didn't mind it at all, I was really happy for that experience, but it made me really get aggressive about what I want. I've been doing this since I was eight, and never considered doing anything else, so I really had to kick it into gear.

Practice being in the moment when you are running, whether you are on your own or in the race.

It's fun to branch out a bit. I feel like I've held a lot of tricks up my sleeve for a lot of years, and 'Ex-Girlfriends' is a good way to show another side of me.

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

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