I don't know how people chew gum all day long.

AMC has a track record for finding actors who have been working actors but not names yet and casting them.

Every role that you play comes with its own set of challenges.

I can't worry about whether roles will be there for me when I'm older.

I can't worry about whether roles will be there for me when I'm older. They're there now, and I'm just not going to panic.

I grew up in Houston, in a pretty urbane setting.

I know as an actor there is a certain liberation auditioning for a role that has no beauty requirements.

I like laughter around me.

I personally love a cliffhanger - I think it just extends the pleasure of viewing.

I'm a black belt in tae kwon do.

I'm positive and I smile a lot, and I'm kind of a banana, but serious work just seems to find me, so I'm not going to argue with it.

I'm really grateful for how my career has unfolded.

I'm really lucky to be married to a perfect person.

My dad is this very sensible guy who never let me feel that anything was beyond my station.

My mother is French, my father is Texan.

The truth is I quite like to dress in jeans and a woolly jumper.

When actors are the real deal, all that star whatever goes right out the window and you're there to tell a story.

When I was little, I used to work with my dad on the engine of his car. Mostly this was a matter of me handing him wrenches.

A lot of cop shows, because they have the restraints of having a new case every episode, the victims often become these kind of nameless, faceless plot points, and as an audience we don't feel anything for those people.

Crime shows are really popular, in general, but usually, at the end of every episode, you have to let go of the people that you've invested in and then, the next week, get somebody else.
