I'm very serious about acting.

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.

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.

My mother couldn't have been happier when I said I was moving to New York.

And when I go to see plays, I marvel at how people can do that. I've done it all my life, but I still find it mystical.

I don't collect anything. I collect people, I think. I'm very social and I like seeing a lot of people.

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