For me, 'Come and See' is, by a million miles, the best film about war that has ever been made. I would highly recommend, encourage and enforce anyone to watch it.

A long-running TV series is a beast in that it demands you stick to one character over a long haul.

I actually got an initial sense of how big 'Outlander' was going to be on Twitter. We're all on there to help promote the show and also interact with the fans.

There's nobody in the arts in my family. It was kind of embarrassing to even say that I wanted to be an actor.

Being an ex-child star is not a given.

I used to sail a lot in all kinds of weather, competing on small sailboats in the ocean. And I travel a lot in Iceland on horses every summer, through the wild areas where there's no inhabitants and...

My father instilled in me to take care of my family. Show up even when you don't want to show up.

I always want to be as good in the part as I possibly can. But I make no pretensions of being the greatest actor in the world.

I would love to do Shakespeare in New York.

I went to school at Radnor High School. And I went to a liberal arts college in St. Louis, Missouri, called Lindenwood College.

Acting is fun, but directing is very stressful.

Oh my goodness me, Daniel Day-Lewis - huge, huge fan of his. I've always loved his philosophy on acting: he always talks about returning to a state of play.

I have seen some crazy people do some crazy things on my variety show. I have to stop and ask them a lot of the time, just how they figured out that they could do the things that they do, some of it...

I knew nothing of American History because I didn't pay attention to American History in school. Because I did not see myself in American History in school.

I don't have a phone.

I still have not given up the idea of becoming a journalist, but at 17 I decided to follow my heart and stay in Los Angeles with my girlfriend as opposed to going to Johns Hopkins.

When I went to drama school, I knew I was at least as talented as other students, but because I was a black man and I wasn't pretty, I knew I would have to work my butt off to be the best that I would...

I did everything. I ran my life exactly as I wanted to, all the time. I never listened to anybody. I'm pig-headed.

Eight times a week, I got to be a gay man, a remarkable gay man, and every night, that felt as full, as true, as passionate, and as authentic as I ever felt in my life.

I was never stupid with my money, because I grew up without it. So when I started to make some, I was like, 'Okay, first rule of thumb, I'm not buying it unless I've got the money to buy it,' so I...

'Homeland' is a thriller with a lot of cloak and dagger spy stuff, which is one of the things that makes it so much fun.

I'm not into pancake things. I'm into eggs. Lots of eggs.

When I see things through my eyes, I don't want to ever just be really negative towards someone's performance. There are many ways to skin a cat. Sometimes I watch the guys, and they're doing...

I'm a little bit anally retentive, a little bit OCD, but a whole lot clean.

I am a better cook than actor.

Music is life, that's why our hearts have beats.

When you have brothers, you learn to be fiercely competitive with someone you love so they won't kill you and you won't kill them.

As an actor, you read so many scripts and parts written for Asian-specific characters, and you see a lot of stereotypes and a lot of one-note characters, especially in comedy.

You'll see a lot more blood in 'Saw' movies or something like that than you will in either of the 'Last House' movies. I kind of think it owes more to 'The Virgin Spring' which is the original source...

You can't go forward and backwards at the same time.
