I mean, I like to be creative because it challenges me to try to be better than I am as a person and I hope that in some way that that makes someone else think and feel something about themselves that then has given them the opportunity to grow.

I believe over the last six years now, I've been learning in between actual acting moments on the show.

I’ve been looking at oil paintings from oriental artists lately, and the one artist who’s inspired me right now is a man named Hokusai and I’ve had his book by my bed looking at how he interprets landscapes – mountains and water and flowers and birds.

I think I'll always be a theater gypsy at heart.

I believe I have a lot to learn in life, still.

But on the other hand, I think as an actor, you tend to want to look at the darker parts of your psyche.

I think you have to have different tools for each job - you know producer is very different from a director and very different from an actor.
