Having played many roles of scientific intellect I do have an empathy for that world. It's been hard on me because flying the Enterprise for seven years in Star Trek and sitting in Cerebro in X-men has led people to believe that I know what I'm talking about. But I'm still trying to work out how to operate the air conditioning unit on my car.

It's so easy to get used to playing a role. Then all of the sudden when you're tossed out of it, it's almost like you have to remember how to act again!
Me as a person, I'm not the president of the NBPA (National Basketball Players Association). I don't even know what to say. I'm not like this perfect, buttoned-up, suit-and-tie guy.

I just don't spend maybe enough time figuring out my place. Maybe I do in the world, but not so much in Hollywood.
It is impossible to differentiate between what I say in my individual capacity from what I say as President.
There's something safe about playing a character, but then it's like, 'Who am I underneath it all?'
I'm almost like three people. There's me the, Dolly, the person. There's me, the star. And then there's me, the manager.
I have played so many romantic roles that I don't know if I am really a romantic in real life. I get confused about the real me.
Dean is a doctor but he acts more like a postal worker!
I'm not sure what it means fully to be a parent.
Things that I had created or morphed into, I almost became. I felt like a broken man having to go back to plain old Matt Hardy in many ways.
I feel like I'm a basketball player in a football uniform.
If you ask me to play myself, I will not know what to do. I do not know who or what I am.
