Juxtaposition is interesting to me.

I've always actually taken very good care of body.

I think, like most actors, it's really exciting to be challenged.

I think the first table read I ever did, my hand was vibrating the whole time.

I don't think a lot of the news outlets examine the effect of war on a family.

Most important, in portraying gay people... it's just like portraying anybody else.

I was in a band when I was in high school, and I was bitten by the performance bug, if anything else.

There are very few things that 13 million people tune in to witness, so television is a really relevant and powerful thing.

The thing about watching a show about the Iraq war, especially for an American audience, is that it reminds them they're responsible in some way.

I always like to start with a great pair of shoes. It's your first contact with the ground, and it can really change the way you move and act physically.

There's a kind of integrity to being an observer of a culture. I think Canadians have that privilege innately. We are, like, the observers of the American culture.

I had this notion that maybe I wanted to be an actor... I thought it might be a neat career. I thought if I was going to try that, I should shoot for the best, and I auditioned for Julliard.

Growing up, one of the shows that the entire family ate dinner at the table was 'Star Trek: The Next Generation.' That was one of the greatest television shows ever, and then I'm a fan of 'Firefly.'

Gay marriage - it's not about two people being gay: it's about two people who love each other and who have decided to commit to each other for the exact same reasons any other couple would get married.

I live in a craftsman house, but I'm a big fan of modernist and mid-century furniture and architecture, too. But my dream is to do a truly original chair design, something that is all these different things but is my own, too.

After three years in L.A., I began to dream of my glory days on the boards. But it's very difficult to make a living as a theater actor in New York, which is why I moved out here, and I always had an ambition to work in television. I am a great admirer of the format, and I think it's how we tell long stories.
