It costs nothing to say something kind. Even less to shut up altogether.

I love hiking in the hills not far from my house. I'm invested in my hikes. Sometimes kids go up there and spray-paint over the signs; I've found a biodegradable paint cleaner, and I'll scrub the signs so they're nice and clean.

I kind of found a niche for myself after 'Firefly'. I found something that I enjoyed doing and that I did well, but as far as how I seek out a part, it's always different. It's always something that lights you on fire when you read it. It might be just one scene, it might be one line that defines the character for you.

My guiltiest pleasure? 'Untamed & Uncut'. Videos of people being attacked by animals. Yeah. I don't know why. I just love seeing guys who say, 'I'm gonna stick my hand in that crocodile's mouth and see what happens.' And then it snaps down on them. There you go - that's what you get! It's a wild animal, my friend.

Castle isn't really affected emotionally by murder. He's thrilled about, 'Oh, my God, I wonder how this happened?'

Oh, boy. I'm still in touch with about 90 percent of my exes. They would describe me as being unlucky in love.

I like doing things where I can get dirty, work with my hands, and use power tools. Last weekend, I did some grouting.
