The idea of sitting in a booth, and having someone pay me to sign autographs, seems so gross to me.

Celebrity is a gift. I'm very lucky.

A film has a beginning, middle, and an end. There is a certain amount of time that you have to embody these people. You know the entire story arch. But on TV, you have to let your guard down. You don't know how long the show is going to last. There is this excitement that comes with developing a character long-term.

You know, so many people say TV makes you stupid. But it had the complete opposite affect on me. It kept me from having a really bad Southern accent.

That's what so great about making movies. It's that you get to do stuff you never would be able to do in real life. You get to go to a recording studio, you get to go to Navy ships and fly all over the world for press. And it's just a great job.
