I live in LA so I worry my kids aren't that connected to Britain, I suppose I don't want them to become American kids. We try to get back three or four times a year. When they go to school they speak with a British-American accent but when they come home to us they go back to their British accent, so I can deal with that.

I really just like acting. I'm not always aware of what is hip and what is popular and what is zeitgeist.

It’s been such an honor to be your Owen Hunt

I'm always very excited by something that's a curveball or from left field.

I was asked to be in the last two 'Harry Potter' films and I couldn't do it because I was busy filming 'Grey's Anatomy.

One of my complaints with American TV characters is that they all have a particular schtick, a hook.

I love whiskey and haggis. I can't get enough of either.
