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

I've had so much fun working on 'Shameless.'

I do a happy dance even when I get a guest-star role.

I think every actor should be always grateful when they work.

When people come up to me and say 'I hate you' or 'I love to hate you,' it's not the usual response that I thought I would've gotten halfway into my career. And then they say, 'I love your work.'

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.
