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

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

If a man comes up to me, I'm almost sure he's going to mention Rome, if it's a woman, it'll be 'Grey's Anatomy.'

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.

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