This is a horrid generalization, so I'll probably get hate mail from stockbrokers. I would have been forced to get back to work, and would have been less accustomed to being in touch with my feelings and allowing my feelings to drive my decisions and behavior.

One of the great things about film is that, typically anything that's introduced in the first five minutes, the audiences will by into.

I love classical music and often listen to symphonies or opera in the morning.

I can be a bit of a science geek. I tend more towards reading about brain science, neuroscience. I was an English major, so I love discussing possibilities and alternate theories. Aside from the science aspect of it, the philosophical possibilities are so interesting.

I went to Notre Dame. I don't know if that has any relevance, but maybe we all had a little too much philosophy and theology.

I'm ready for conventions. You know what's interesting, the sort of questions that Lost raises are of a different sort from this movie. In other words, Lost is about figuring out the world of the show, whereas this one seems to raise questions about the world that we know. But I'm happy to entertain both.

I guess every actor has certain emotions they can access easier than others.

If the question was did we want to delay the revelation?... Yeah, you want to delay it as long as possible because the audience knows that that moment is coming and you want to make them wait for it. They have to suffer a bit.

One of the great things about having been on Lost is people coming up and feeling so enthusiastic about the show and saying, Oh it provided us so much entertainment, or It inspired conversations.

I feel honored to be a part of something that provided people with entertainment and that inspired conversations. I feel very, very fortunate.

Every actor has their own method, so I'm not suggesting what works for me will work for everybody else.

I would not call myself Catholic anymore, but I went to 16 years of Catholic school: grade school, high school and college.

I don't think that necessarily I was encouraged by the nuns and the priest to consider alternate possibilities to the universe.

Generally a wise actor will be very careful about the person to whom he gives that power.

Look, we all know how hard it is for us to - I'm going to speak for myself - find a still photo of yourself that you like. Like how many times do people send photos and you're like, Oh burn it.

I remember when I was working on Mission: Impossible 2, John Woo said, In Hong Kong, there's not much money and a lot of time. In Hollywood, a lot of money, not much time. Personally I'd prefer not much money, a lot of time.

Well, you're in a theater and it's 24 shots a second, your face, your body, your voice, and it's your craft, the way you earn your living, and it's indelible. It's not like writing a script - I write as well - I can't do another draft, it's done.

So I'm here, and not being one for missed opportunities, I made a list of the casting directors in New York and mark off the ones I've already met over the years. The few remaining I asked my agent and manager, See if you can set up some meetings while I'm here.

I worked in script development, many years ago, and read a lot of scripts. Between that and the scripts I've read as an actor, and I'm a writer as well, I think I have a pretty good sense about whether the bones of a story are there and whether the structure is intact.
