When I go outside of L.A., no matter where it is, really anywhere I go, people will be stopping me or taking pictures or whatever it is. And it's great. It's amazing. I'm just lucky.

I live in L.A., I grew up here, it's not that crazy for me because it's L.A., you know?

It was more freeing, mainly because he's so free anyway. He just is in his performance. So to mimic someone doing a free performance, well, that's pretty freeing within itself.

I always thought it'd be fun to go to a sci-fi convention, watch a bunch of Klingons walking around, all of that kind of stuff.

Jackson Rathbone—he is a prankster. Constantly scaring people from behind, stuff like that.

Homer Simpson has been more inspirational to me than probably any cartoon character. What he represents, I think, there's a part of that in everybody. There certainly is in me, and I love that.

I know some actors feel classes are not cool or they create negative public relations, but I continue to crave the story just beyond my reach. To grasp that brass ring I need to continue to fine-tune my talents.

I guess because you study the character and you do all those things. But when it comes down to it, it's still my performance, it's still my interpretation. I'm not going to, you know, be a clone - well, I was a clone of Richard Dean Anderson!

In Boston they have gone from large autonomous high schools to smaller schools within the same building.

Acting is an art and a science and there is more to me then that young blonde kid.

I've never liked to play stereotypes.

I am a story teller and I take each story very seriously.

I know a lot of actors don't watch themselves on TV, but I think it's good to see how else you can improve.

I really don't care what I look like as long as it fits with the thing I'm working on.

When I go outside of L.A., no matter where it is, really anywhere I go, people will be stopping me or taking pictures or whatever it is. And it's great. It's amazing. I'm just lucky.

I love any kind of recognition because as an actor I'm very hard on myself sometimes.

I can't think of anything I can't stand the taste of less than brussels sprouts.

I know a lot of actors don't like to watch themselves and sometimes I don't, but generally I do because I like to just see if there's anything that I can change in the future or make better or anything like that.
