It's fun to play a character who lives on the edge, who is an ethical and moral mess, and is paying the price for some of his actions.

The point is that any law that makes criminals out of 15 million Americans is probably not such a good idea. The point was that drug abuse isn't a criminal issue, it's a healthcare issue. And the money and manpower we spend prosecuting a surfer in San Diego might better be used fighting things that genuinely threaten our national health and safety. That was the point.

I never considered a career in broadcasting, not even as a kid.

Any time you get to dig deeper into your character, you welcome it, especially on a TV show.

My dad said to me growing up: 'When all is said and done, if you can count all your true friends on one hand, you're a lucky man.'

Why would some all powerful being create creatures capable of reason and then demand that they act in a manner contrary to their creation?

I'm kind of new to Twitter. I'm about one year in, so I'm a little late to the party.
