I was the little kid growing up. I wasn't picked on because, honestly, I was fast, so I could run away from the bullies.

The crew, the actors and the writers all work the same way. We always want to do the best job.

I grew up with a dad who hated television, so we had to sneak television. It got ingrained in my head to never follow a show that religiously.

For me, the idea of being a successful actor is hanging out with my dogs and my boy, down in Venice beach, and going, "I don't have to audition today. I've got a little respite here."

I did a film when I was about 30; it's a coming of age story called 'Gas Food Lodging,' and I'm so proud of that little independent film. I play this young English geologist, and he's such a simple, loving kind of guy. Doesn't talk too much. He's just a quiet guy, and he gets the girl.

When you're a little kid, growing up, most of us know what's right and wrong. Our parents teach us that discipline.

My life is going to continue to be public, and I just accept that.
