The stage is where I feel most comfortable, and I miss it all the time.
You can only do so much theatre.
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.
The crew loves working on the show, even though we have to work really hard. There's nobody in the show that's difficult. We really have a great group.
In our show you have to pay attention and know what happened before. I think it's very intelligent entertainment. It makes demands of viewers that a lot of shows don't.
If you were to come to the set of Alias, you'd know how silly we all are. And I mean, silly.
I've been amazed that it's so popular with people. But it's been fantastic. People are very excited when I walk into a place and they recognize me from the series.
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 think from a very young age I always have this desire to perform.
We, some cast members and I, even went on a weekend trip together and spent the weekend at an inn, because we enjoy each other's company so much, and it was so cool.
When I first read the script a few years ago I thought it was one of the best written scripts I had ever read.
I remember the first reading of the script we had and everybody was sitting around the table. I was very impressed with the level of acting that was in the room, particularly with Jennifer who has so much responsibility.
Being on a television series is sort of life-altering on every level.
I believe that acting in any medium is the same thing, it's discovering the truth in where you are.
I had done some TV movies that were great experiences but, no, I wasn't looking to do a series.
I have no interest in directing. I've no talent for it.
I'm very serious about acting.
My mother couldn't have been happier when I said I was moving to New York.
The hardest thing for me is not to keep laughing. Jennifer particularly is like a clown.
The most sinister aspect of Jack is his detachment, his ability to distance himself from his feelings.
