Shonda Rhimes, especially, saw something in me that no one had and then wrote to my strengths for 'Grey's Anatomy.' That's the job I think really opened up a whole new world for me.
Puerto Rico is beautiful. I mean, I love it. But it's hard to film here. It's hard to film an action movie here where you're outside, and you're running around all day.
I think, as I've gotten older I have realized what a huge privilege it is to even be in this business. I, more than ever, love what I do.
I would bend over backward to be back on Grey's. Any day, I'll choose lying in bed with Katherine Heigl looking over me over getting thrown against walls by supernatural persons at 5 in the morning.
I'm just looking always for characters that change, because I want to get better, as an actor and as a person.
The only reason I went to college was to play basketball. I injured my knee and couldn't play.
There were rumors I wasn't going to die. The whole cast was sitting around the table reading the script. I fell on the floor - I'm not kidding. I looked up at Katherine Heigl, and she was crying.
Working exterior nights in Vancouver, when it's raining and snowing, is a little daunting, when you haven't slept.
Sometimes in TV, it can get really stale, especially if you're doing these 23-episode years. It's a lot of work, and to put your family through that, on a location, is not always the greatest thing in the world.
My kind of success has come a little bit later in life. I'm not 20 any more and these people I've been working with have been successful and good at what they do for a long time.
I'm learning a lot how to be good at what I do and also how lucky I am and take it all in and be grateful for all this late in life success I've been having and it's good to have people that have been around and successful for awhile and work with them and see how they behave and it's why they are who they are and why they're still successful.
Ian McShane's character in 'Deadwood' was awesome.
Alan Moore's first choice to be the Comedian... was Burt Reynolds. But I never saw myself as Burt Reynolds; I saw myself as Edward Blake.
I wasn't very good at it, but I knew that I loved acting immediately.
I love acting, but the star part is not my bag.
I want to be with people I care about and hang out with my dogs.
Women are surprised to see me on the street - like they're seeing a ghost. There's a lot of crying involved.
I like to push myself, you know.
The directors you want to work with are in the television world.
I've been dipping my toes back into TV.
