What I realized was how difficult an hour show is and how miserable you can be if you're not happy doing it.

Growing up I was involved in children's theater, so I was definitely on the path to be an actor and a singer.

The most sinister aspect of Jack is his detachment, his ability to distance himself from his feelings.

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.

When I was a kid, I didn't collect stamps, or weird toys, or anything. I don't even have music - I don't even have a CD collection. So that's not really my thing.

I find that everything I do is demanding, like Jack Bristow is a complicated man and I do a lot of explaining in the show, it takes a lot of energy and concentration.

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