Honestly, the world can be a dark enough place. Light it up.

I’m an openly gay man playing an omnisexual hero, who is loved on both sides of the Atlantic. How could I not be proud of that?

I am not one of those actors who dwells on the histrionics and the subtext and future text of the character. I deal with the scenes that I'm doing at that specific time, because if I do that, they play in more of a real way.

When I was younger I wanted to be an airline pilot, but that lasted for about 30 seconds.

I trust the [series] writers when I'm filming, because it's interesting for me to go in every week and see what's going to happen, and the challenge for me as the actor is to make it work.

I don't call myself an actor, I call myself an entertainer, because I don't just do one thing.

Never apologize for being nerdy, because un-nerdy people never apologize for being assholes.
