Wherever I am in the world, if I get free time when I'm filming I always hire a car, take to the road, drive for miles and explore.

I'm not someone who wears shades all the time and ducks into a darkened car in case I'm recognized - that would be absolute misery.

What 'Deadwood' did was to talk about how capitalism started, how civilised society came in, and how that brought its own problems.

My celeb crush is Julia Louis-Dreyfus. She's hysterical, she's beautiful, and she seems like a normal person. I'm in love with her.

I try to dress smooth, I try to keep my face shaved, I try to keep my head cut. I try to do all the things to keep it smooth going!

Me personally, I don't have anything against Jesus any more than I do any of the religious icons. I think they're all pretty funny.

The movie Spinal Tap rocked my world. It's for rock what The Sound of Music was for hills. They really nailed how dumb rock can be.

I always knew there wasn't going to be anybody to help me and emotionally support me, that whatever I did I'd have to do on my own.

I don't want to be an action star, an action star's life is so short. I want my life to get longer, I want my career to get longer.

I've tried to meditate, but I feel like I always overthink the process. When I need to calm my mind, I will go for a family hike...

My mum and dad are pretty amazing chefs and they spent most of my childhood cooking really extravagant things for my sister and me.

I've decided I can't really control people's perceptions of me. All I can do is decide on what I work on and how hard I work on it.

I'm a 'bleeding-heart liberal,' one of those card-carrying Democrats that Rush Limbaugh thinks is a communist. And I'm proud of it.

When I'm trying to go to sleep and there are little noises, like a clock ticking or a fan squeaking, it drives me completely insane

One of the big struggles for an actor is sometimes you have to take work that you don't necessarily want to do so you can pay rent.

If you are going to tell a story about a child going missing, it's going to have similarities with a real life child going missing.

As an actor, it's exciting to play a role that's so far from what you are and to have people respond to it like a real human being!

Love from the fans is flattering. That's what makes the show. They are so essential to everything involved with 'Once Upon a Time.'

I love cookies baking. During the winter, they have these candles that smell like cookies, and I always buy like a hundred of them.

I never went to church a day in my life. The dominant religion (influence) in my family was my grandfather who was a Scientologist.

The movies that are really big, at least in my experience, oftentimes don't have characters that I feel as personally connected to.

Green Eggs and Ham was the story of my life. I wouldn't eat a thing when I was a kid, but Dr. Seuss inspired me to try cauliflower!

I know what I have to do if I want to lose weight and stay healthy: eat a proper diet and exercise. All I've got to do is apply it.

I've always been an avid reader. Everyone in my family read a lot. Considering we were from a little town, we were pretty literate.

I've dyed my hair a million times and it looks terrible, always. It just looks fake. And it doesn't make me look that much younger.

Everything here is edible; even I'm edible. But that, dear children, is cannibalism, and is in fact frowned upon in most societies.

I want people to think about everyone in their life, and their responsibilities to their friends, their families and their country.
