I love the stage. It's terrifying in a way that film and television is not. When you're about to go out, and you're adrenaline just gets out of control, and that can be really daunting.

I get a lot of people coming up to me and saying, "I really hate you." And they say it in the nicest possible way and I accept it. It's the people who come up to you and say, "I really liked your character. Man, he was right!" Those are the ones you worry about.

There are themes that somehow stir me and that I find very interesting. They're themes that deal with leadership, the nature of bravery and courage, and how to define those.

With correction, and given the chance, 'Terra Nova' can and will deliver seasons of transcendent images and story-telling. 'Terra Nova' is the Hubble Telescope of television.

You try to go where the great scripts are, if you can, or you go where the not great scripts are, because that's what's being offered to you.

I have a penchant for playing God's clowns. Actually, I played Nijinsky once, and he used to call himself God's clown.

I'm always reading plays, and when I find something that I really want to do, then I'll make the time to do it.
