I have a very busy head. I have inside voices that I have learned to contain.

Whatever character you play, remember they are always doing something they are not just talking.

I don't know anything about god except that it's not me. So, somewhere between that acceptance and doing my homework and being competitive and having ambition and loving my job and observing and reflecting my society, that's where I find the purpose. Because man needs purpose.

It doesn't matter who you are. What matters is your plan.

I think I had only been working nine months when I got Star Trek, and it was huge. It was very overwhelming. So that opened my eyes a bit at an early age, kind of how not be frightened when walking into a responsibility of something like villain in Batman, or a Hobbit, or whatever it is.

I'm just getting settled as a responsible man - but if you split the elephant into little mouthfuls it will be fine.

There's always a certain pride in getting the job done properly.
