I grew up with a family that had very little and were at times homeless.

I think there are presences out there that we can't see or directly communicate with that have benevolent influence on us. Whether they're angels or something else, I'm not sure.

When you're doing lots and lots of episodes and you're playing the same character, it's great because you really get to know the character and it becomes a really fast style and you find subtleties in it.

A lot of times you see really good-looking guys on TV and you sort of assume that maybe there's some sort of vacuity behind them.

I've never done too much inquiry into angels.

I paid my way through college as a carpenter and a woodworker. So I've built the house I live in and most of the furniture that's in it, and I do a lot of woodworking still.
