Everybody works in a different way, and I've worked with actors that have no training whatsoever who are phenomenal.

Dont listen to anybody. Nobody knows the magic bullet. If they did, theyd sell it and make a fortune. Follow your gut. Follow your instincts. Every once in a while, take a chance.

You've got to get your mind connected to the workout. Pay attention to what your body's doing. It's about connecting mind and the body. Visualize the muscles moving.

As an actor, you try to put a little bit of yourself in everything you do.

The truth just happens - lies take time to make.

When script is written well, then you start to make decisions of, "Well, do I want to be away from home for that long? Do I like the people involved?" When it's written well, a lot of those things go away and you can't not do it.

If youd asked me after Band of Brothers what thing I wanted to do next, I certainly never would have imagined Southland.
