Aaron Echolls is one of the best characters that I've ever played.

In those days I was mortified, because I was a serious actor in my own mind, and then all of a sudden I'm this hunk.

I get to play a great character while working with great actors and great directors on a great show.

People will have an altered idea of who you are unless they really take time to get to know you, which of course they don't. They just get what they see, and they take that to the bank.

Aaron Echolls is one of the best characters that I've ever played.

I'd like to find great roles close to home and work on great projects while staying near my family. My family's the most important thing to me right now.

I think people enjoyed LA Law so much, because it was the first show that delved into current events through the prism of the law.

I get interested in writers who are enigmatic.

If you play a gay role, it sticks more than it does if an actor were to play a murderer or a psychopath.

In my head, I consider 'No Turning Back' my 'dipping the toe in the water' album. It was mostly covers of favorite songs, and there were three originals in there. So, it feels like it was just my album to see what the temperature of the water was.

Seeing the world around you clearly is a critical step in developing an idea for a business, carrying out that idea, and then thriving with an ongoing concern. Through choice, predilection, lack of education, impatience, or other causes, the entrepreneur lives, in a way, outside the mainstream.

Incendiary capitalism is carrying its out evil works more dangerously than ever, and is doing so in the increasingly dangerous neighborhood of the powder kegs that are the great European military powers.

It's pretty amazing being me.

I am not an artist which is 'in.'

In most states, it's more difficult to get a license for your dog than it is to buy a big cat. Right now, there are more tigers in the state of Texas than in all of India.

I am continuing to explore a run in the Senate from Connecticut, absolutely exploring it. In fact, I would say exploring it intensely.

Some people focus more on sonics. Some people focus more on story. I focus on both sonics and story, but music sometimes, just music itself, can turn into more of a maths problem.
