I hate to say it because I feel like it might be a jinx, but yes - knock on wood - I have never broken a bone.
It's fun to branch out a bit. I feel like I've held a lot of tricks up my sleeve for a lot of years, and 'Ex-Girlfriends' is a good way to show another side of me.
I usually spend the hiatus of 'Dexter' in New York in a way to balance things.
If you can create an environment where people are invited to do their best work and the best ideas always win, then the project itself will win.
My sister is a chiropractor and she says I have an unusually flexible lower back, but I don't do yoga, and I don't feel like I'm very bendy.
I believe in possibility, but I'm not sure I believe in demons.
You know what, I'm happy to say that everything outside of 'Dexter' feels like a vacation, and I don't mean to say anything negative about the show. It's just a different kind of work. Emotionally it's taxing and complicated, and that's a great thing.
My laundry list of wants in a partner is basically kindness. I want someone who is kind, and that's kind of where it begins and ends. I'm open to being surprised.
At a young age I always had an entrepreneurial spirit. So I'm trying to develop things on my own, too, and there are a couple things that have absolutely nothing to do with the entertainment business that I'm trying to tackle. We'll just sort of see.
It's always been a dream of mine to be in a Woody Allen comedy.
I went to school. I went to Juilliard. You spend 13 hours a day on voice and speech. Now I realize why.
I have learned that keeping my personal life outside of work is the easier, richer way to work.
I read Christopher McDougall's book 'Born to Run.' If running were a religion, this would be its bible. I actually scribbled my favorite passages on my arm to read during the race.
Sometimes when I pick up a book off the shelf, when I'm buying a new book to read, I'll look at all of them and they all have the exact same words inside, but I'll think that one is meant to go home with me. I'll never pick the first thing off the shelf, I'll always go one behind.
Practice being in the moment when you are running, whether you are on your own or in the race.
Well, I made an announcement to my family at 8 that I wanted to be an actor, and I focused like a laser beam on it. I never had a fallback plan.
In school I was always being cast as the clown. And then I did 'The Exorcism of Emily Rose,' and once people hear you scream, they can't un-hear it. But I don't mean to say that I've been typecast, either.
It's sacred for an actor to keep their personal life personal.
I need to make sure that I'm taking roles that I feel like I can communicate through.
I never thought that I would be so attracted to television, but I don't think gigs like 'Dexter' come along too often.
