I consider myself to be a relatively helpful person, and there's an interesting line when hope starts to become the way you actually mask or hide from what's really happening.

I've always been shocked that people that I'm actually flying with say, 'Oh, I feel safer on the plane with you.' I'm thinking, 'You must not watch the show because everybody around me gets killed.'

I think one of the things I was most interested in finding out was how differently we approached our work. And my reality was that we didn't approach it very differently at all, which was funny.

I had an unbelievable experience on '24'. We shot 198 episodes, and I was as excited about shooting the 198th as I was the first.

Most of my career I've spent really nervous. Just about work, getting work and having it in.

I've done some stupid things. You just have to take responsibility, go, That was embarrassing, and move forward as best you can.

The writers keep managing to turn the show in on itself, coming up with something that's well thought-out and miraculous.
