Acting is probably the greatest therapy in the world. You can get a lot stuff out of you on the set so you don't have to take it home with you at night. It's the stuff between the lines, the empty space between those lines which is interesting.

I loved cinema while growing up and, for the longest time, wanted to be a director.

I do tend to divide my childhood into darkness and light, and the first seven years were certainly the darkness.

At times of the severest depression, humor is what binds people together.

I have a reputation for being an improvisational actor, which is true, but I also know what I'm doing so that if the improvisational strand doesn't work I can go back to what I know's already there.

I've really enjoyed my work in television, but the problem for me is the turnover of directors every week.

I'd totally be attracted to a geek girl!
