We live in a time where the media is a very difficult thing to navigate because it's everywhere, and I tend to want to be a lot more private with my life.

The unfortunate thing, and the tragedy of this show [Revenge], is in exploring the theme of revenge.

I don't have sociopathic tendencies!

I can be quite serious sometimes so laughing is key.

It's important to me that a man is good at taking care of people.

I don't dig parties. I rather sit at home with my friends and a good movie.

I'm exhausted almost all the time.

I'm a big zombie buff.

I promised myself I wouldn't work again until I found something that excited me.

I'd love to do some theater.

With family dramas, it's hard to keep those stories alive.

I'm a pretty open book.

I think it's important to be with a guy who has a strong sense of integrity. That's how I was raised, and that's something I look for.

You put the picture of the ideal person in your head and then someone comes along and they don't fit that ideal at all. But somehow there is something about them that is so attractive. Everyone that I have fallen for has not fit that ideal at all.

I think women look for that quality in a man of being a good dad whether they're immediately wanting to be a parent or not.
