- About once a year, I do these long-distance relays with some friends of mine, and it takes about 27 or 28 hours to complete it.
- Good and bad are really arbitrary words when it comes to character.
- For me, acting is play. It's just play and it's playing make believe really, really well.
- I think all of us have a hero and a villain in us.
- I don't know how to put on any tough guy pretensions.
- I grew up in the South, so a huge part of our American History education revolved around the Civil War.
- I grew up in a place where a lot of my friends had horses, so I grew up riding. But I'm not an expert.
- I don't go to movies for redemption - if I want that, I'll go to church!
- I don't care about sympathy. I care about playing a character who's understandable and clear.
- I can't claim I'm truly a man's man, I'm just as much of a dork and a crybaby sometimes as anybody else.
- I love the long-form format of television. I love being able to develop a character, over a long period of time.
- I love getting paid to ride a horse.
- I like science fiction. I took all the accelerated classes in school. I'm kind of a dork.

- In the last two or three decades, there's been a feminization of the man in popular media that I've never really understood.

- I'm an enemy of exposition. I feel there's no need to overstate.
- I'm a goofball.
- I have a great-great-great-grandfather who was a Confederate cavalry colonel, and I still have his military composite photo on my wall. The chemicals in the photo tint have changed over the years to the point that he looks green. One of my family members apparently still has the piece of paper that listed every thing in his pocket when he got shot.
- I grew up hunting with shotguns and rifles, and we had a gun in every corner of the living room. I'm not a gun advocate, but that's the way I grew up.
