Sharks Will Scare Me. I Went Out To Malibu A Couple Of Weeks Ago. Beautiful, Clear Day, Out In Five Feet Of Water, Going To Surf, And There Was This Big Ol' Freakin' Leopard Shark... I'm Looking At Him And I'm Thinking, 'ok, He Won't Hurt Me.

On 'justified,' We're Driving All Around Southern California Trying To Find A Location That We Can Call Kentucky.

There's Not Much To Do In Atlanta, So The Cast Went To The Gym Together, Went Shopping Together, And Dinner Was Always A Group Thing. It's That Whole Summer-camp Experience That Making Movies Tends To Be Anyway.

You Know, What A Producer Does Is One Of The Great Mysteries In Life, So Anyone Can Be One.

It's Easy To Be Quick On The Draw When No One Has Got Real Bullets.

Sometimes, People Aren't As Consciously Aware Of Their Decisions As They Should Be.

I Remember Years Ago Being On The Set Of 'dreamcatcher' And Not Only Did I Have Such Great Admiration For Morgan Freeman And Was Just Thrilled To Be Around Him, I Was Struck By The Fact That He Seemed To Be Having Perhaps More Fun Than I Was At His Job. And I Thought, 'well, That's Very Promising.

The Danger With Success In Television Is "haven't We Shot This Episode Before? Didn't We Shoot This Scene Two Years Ago?" I Think It's Really Hard To Just Take The Risk From Season To Season And Not Be Afraid To Give The Audience Something Completely Different, And Trust That They'll Come With You.

My Roles Don't Centre Around Drugs At All! Shadiness Is Different - It's Drama. We're Making Movies! You've Gotta Have Conflict.

I Punch A Lot Of Guys On Set. It's Much Easier Than In Real Life As Your Hands Don't Hurt Afterwards. The Key Is That You Miss.

Larry Kasdan Has Made Some Of My Favorite Movies Of All Time So Just To Be Working With Him Was A Pleasure. Now That I Have, I Not Only Respect His Work But I Just Love And Respect Him As A Person.

People Love To Be Scared. I Guess It's A Primal Deal.

Being An Actor: That's A Pretty Big Net. That's A Big Playing Field. The Screen Actors' Guild Is Filled With Many, Many, Many, Many People And Vastly Different Careers.

Usually, In Romantic Comedies, You End Up Sacrificing A Great Deal Of The Complexity - You Know, Just Two Attractive People And A Good Soundtrack.

I Think At This Point In My Life, I'd Like To Play More Good Guys Than Bad Guys.

It's Great If A Pilot Starts Off Great And If It Doesn't Start Off So Great It's Not That Big A Deal: Everybody's Baby Is Born Ugly. But You Want To Know, If Given The Opportunity: Where Are We Going? What's The Story We're Trying To Tell?

I've Had Lots Of Parts In Movies That I've Never Seen. I Mean No Disrespect To Them. It Was Really Fun To Go Act, But I'm Not Calling My Friends And Saying, 'i Couldn't Be More Proud Of This Picture. You Should Go See It.

In My Mind, I'm Hilarious, So I Would Love To Do Some Comedy. But, I'm Not Exactly Sure My Perspective Is A Healthy One.

Um, Accidents Happen. Especially If There's A Co-star That You're Not That Fond Of - You Might 'accidentally' Deck Him. But No, I'm A Professional. I'm Just Saying That Can Happen.

I've Been Working For A Long Time And I've Just Really Been Allowed To Work, With Very Little Of The Baggage And The Pressures That Can Come With My Job.

Kids On The Set Tend To Be A Pain, And If They're Not, Their Parents Are.

If I Were To Direct An Episode, Then There Would Be No One For Me To Blame, And That's Not Any Fun. It's More About Sitting In The Back Seat And Trying To Drive.

It's Always Fun To Play Cops And Robbers.

I Like My Job. That's Become Very Clear To Me. I Know How To Pretend To Do Things That I Otherwise Didn't Know How To Do.
