I'm an actor that cares.

I did [Henrik] Ibsen and [Anton] Chekhov for years. Obviously I didn't get the kind of recognition I have now. Somebody once told me, "You ride the horse the direction it's going."

It's tricky when I'm constantly traveling and adjusting to new time zones and trying to also keep up with my workouts.

I got to L.A. in 2000, when we were coming off the '90s: women looked like men and the men all looked like women.

When I first got out of drama school, my original manager tried to get me to change my name because people were having trouble spelling it and saying it.

We've all had those phone conversations. Things are heated, you're in a position where you're gonna say something nasty. Instead, you say, "Oh, I've got that thing in the oven." Lie. Get off the phone. Don't perpetuate a bad situation.

I was kind of a dark kid. I loved Halloween, and I loved vampires and the black and white old monster movies.
