What I love about 'The Good Wife' is that it's not straightforward.

Everyone needs to know how to accept compliments and say thank you.

I'm enjoying dating. I'm single, though, I'm not in a relationship.

It's OK to have nice things happen to you - you should embrace that.

Pabst Blue Ribbon. I'm from Johnson City, Tennessee. I gotta go Pabst.

I've been in and out of hospitals a lot in terms of family or extended family or myself.

Working with my brother is something that I've always wanted to do. He's one of my best friends.

I had a mouse in my apartment and I couldn't sleep for two nights. I hate mice. They move so fast.

I am a very private person, but when you get recognized, it's an opportunity to make somebody's day.

I love horror, mystery, and science fiction, and Poe was one of the founding fathers of those worlds.

The medical genre is beloved, and there are so many great stories to be told - and that's why it's so popular.

I have been extremely fortunate to have incredibly special fans support my work throughout my twelve year career.

Both Frankenstein and the Hulk are looked at as horrific, but they're just trying to find their way, like all of us.

My season 2 'Good Wife' wrap gift was this deluxe package of Mortal Kombat. I played it for, like, two weeks straight.

The main thing is that the 'C' is silent, so it kind of starts with a 'Z.' Z-O-O-K-RIE. It's Ukrainian, on my dad's side.

Somebody wanted me to autograph her breast and I kindly refused. She was in college. I thought maybe I shouldn't do that.

In the fourth-grade talent show, my buddies and I dressed up like the California Raisins - they were big then! - and lip-synched.

I used to play a lot of 'Civilization Revolution.' It's a strategy game that takes six to eight hours. You literally have to block off a full Sunday.

I have always connected to stories with characters that don't fit in and have a constant internal battle between their better nature and the darkness within.

When I was in kindergarten, it took me like three months to learn how to spell my own name. But that's also not saying much considering I'm a terrible speller.

Theoretically, I could do a movie, but the window is so small, it's very difficult to get timings right and find the right project you love, and they love you back.

The more challenges that are thrown at you, the more reward there is on the other side because you surprise yourself and say, 'Wow, these are things I didn't realize I was capable of.'

I majored in history and political science at the College of Charleston in South Carolina, and I have always loved researching how a single human being can change the course of history.

I was born in New Hampshire, moved to Tennessee when I was 9, and lived there through high school, then went to school at College of Charleston, so definitely a lot of pieces of the South there.

For me, the most important thing that I am meticulous about when it comes to fashion is fit. I want something that fits perfectly for my body type and fits perfectly for who I am as a person from the inside out.

I'm grateful that on a lot of casts I've gained friends for life. But it's more of a rare thing than a normal thing. I have a small group of friends, and I just, uh, feel fulfilled by the people that are in my life.

In the end, it's about the reality. You want something that's believable in the performances; you want something that's believable in the storytelling, in the writing. You just want to connect to something that you feel is real.

My brother is nine years older than I am. He's a psychology professor, I'm an actor, and so we look at life in two different ways. We thought it would be interesting to come together and take our unique perspectives and share them with everybody else.

Everyone has something unique to bring to this world. And if you understand that, if you cherish that, if you embrace who you are and then capture that with your clothes... then that is when fashion can make a powerful statement about who you are and what you are about.

Senior year in college, a kind of confluence of events came together to have me pursue a career in acting. I was planning on being a lawyer; I double majored in history and political science. I took the LSAT and did horribly on it, and that was one thing that made me rethink a new direction.

'Carpe Diem' is a phrase that I try to embrace. It means seize the day, to make the most of the present and to give little thought to the past or future. In the time that I have here, I want to love and live life to the fullest while being a positive influence on others. And I want a full life for everyone.
