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 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.

I do like taking on responsibility, sometimes too much. But I was aware of that early on and it's something that came up in the previous set of interviews, and that is the actor‛s contribution.

In the summer of 2009, I was at the Shakespeare lab at the public theater in New York.

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.

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'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.

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.

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.

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.

If you're going to do a guest spot on television, they need bodies on those procedural TV shows. You've got to keep working, and that's where a lot of the work is.

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

I've made a number of independent films that didn't receive theatrical distribution, that a lot of people haven't heard of, and as a result, I've conditioned myself to go into small independent films with the expectation that they will not, and therefore, I have to find my reward elsewhere.

It's because you have no power. You give them all the material and the cinematographer, the director, the editor, boy what they can choose... You better hope they like you because they can slice and dice and make you look like a damn fool when your face and body are up there on a 30-foot screen.

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.
