SCOTT FOLEY

I was lucky enough to know exactly what I wanted to do when I was growing up. I think one of the hardest things to figure out in life is what your calling is, and what truly makes you happy - not what you want to work at, but what you want to do.

The older I get, the more I become an apple pie, sparkling cider kind of guy.

The best part is it's a dream come true. I've always wanted to be a working actor, and the good part of it... it's all good! I work long hours, but it's amazing. They pay me. That's amazing! I get to kiss Keri Russell, and that ain't too bad.

I am going to be on 'True Blood.' It was really exciting. I had a great time shooting it. I spent the last nine months shooting this season and it was very secretive, very sexy, a lot of blood and fangs.

I never took my SAT's. I never applied to college. I moved right out here and jumped into the thick of things. Whether that was the smart move or not, I'm sitting here talking to you now, so it paid off.

I like being scared every now and then, I like the suspense and the thrills. Nothing like taking a girlfriend to a movie and holding her hand while she jumps.

I'm a dog lover and animal lover all around.

I have a thing for clean lines and beautiful form that I attribute to my four years in Tokyo and Kyoto. I also appreciate traditional architecture and a warm palette that I think my Midwest upbringing has something to do with.

I do consider myself a film geek. I love television and film.

Anytime anyone gets passionate over a character you're playing, I think you've done your job well.

I am a student of this business. I'm really interested in it. When I was younger, I was always the annoying one. What's that? What's that do? What is that called? Why aren't you doing this? I think it got very annoying.

I think anything with a serialized storyline is a perfect match for binge-watching.

I'm a big tweeter, especially when 'Scandal' is on, and I started tweeting some other shows.

I have a quad rep in my house, so I'm doing bench presses and pull ups on that, any sort of basic strength movements I can do at home.

It's amazing, all of the ways that having kids has changed me. I'm a much less selfish person because of them, and compared to who I was before, my patience level seems infinite.

After a long shoot day, I'm usually wiped. I'll come home and take a hot shower and get off the makeup that had caked itself onto my face.

I know, just from directing television, where you have a huge support system of producers and writers and a script supervisor - not just the cast but a crew of 100 people - there are, as a director, hundreds of questions that you have to answer every day.

My wife and I are constantly bombarded with questions from our children, from the mundane and repetitive to the surprisingly insightful. It's amazing how many times three children can say 'Daddy' in just one hour, much less one day.

I've been lucky enough in my career to work with a few people who are really prolific.

It's amazing what social media has done for entertainment.

Man, I wish I was a better pickup guy. I've always been the guy in a relationship.

Do I seem to play characters that in the end don't get the girl? Maybe. But you don't always get the girl or the guy, and there has to be someone to play that.

I love the industry that I'm in. I love what I do, and I've sort of grown from being an actor and being on set. I take it all in, and I talk to the grips and the Best Boys and talk to lighting guys. I talk to everybody and see what they do and pay close attention.

I love to dance. I think it's so much fun! I love classic Motown, hip-hop, pop, whatever has a good beat and is uplifting.

TV's been very kind to me.
