It's always a great day going to work with Ginnifer Goodwin; she's a fantastic actress and I learn so much from her.

Tattoos are interesting, but at the same time they are also a mask - you are exhibiting your past life on your body.

Society questions the police and their methods, and the police say, Do you want the criminals off the street or not?

I'll say my dad couldn't act to save his life and nor can my uncle and they'll say I'm the worst actor in the world.

I just want other people to know the kind of joy that I have in my life. I want other people to be able to have fun.

Acting in "Star Wars," I felt like a raisin in a giant fruit salad, and I didn't even know who the cantaloupes were.

No great advancement has ever been kept at bay because of ideology, nor greed. Eventually progress moves us forward.
