I have no interest in directing. I've no talent for it.

The hardest thing for me is not to keep laughing. Jennifer particularly is like a clown.

That's why, when Alias came along, I knew I'd be OK if the show was on for five or six years because the writing was so good and the creative team was so strong.

You can only do so much theatre.

Then I did one fight scene, and they said it looked good. Because I did it well enough, they've given me more.

I think from a very young age I always have this desire to perform.

I like the fact that Jack is always wearing a tie except when he's on a mission. I do like it when I get out there and dress up, or dress down, a little bit.
