The last decade has been a little rough, so I'm hoping to start this one on the right foot.

The last decade has been a little rough, so I'm hoping to start this one on the right foot.

I think, as I've gotten older I have realized what a huge privilege it is to even be in this business. I, more than ever, love what I do.

I'm just looking always for characters that change, because I want to get better, as an actor and as a person.

There were rumors I wasn't going to die. The whole cast was sitting around the table reading the script. I fell on the floor - I'm not kidding. I looked up at Katherine Heigl, and she was crying.

I would bend over backward to be back on Grey's. Any day, I'll choose lying in bed with Katherine Heigl looking over me over getting thrown against walls by supernatural persons at 5 in the morning.

The only reason I went to college was to play basketball. I injured my knee and couldn't play.

'The Exoricist' and 'The Shining,' there is some horrific stuff, and it's mostly what you put in your own head, which I find amazing.

A 12-year-old can watch 'Spiderman.' A 12-year-old cannot watch 'Watchmen.'

A family going through a divorce, a child under attack by a demon, all these things I could relate to.

Acting is a hard profession. More than anything, it takes fortitude.

Alan Moore's first choice to be the Comedian... was Burt Reynolds. But I never saw myself as Burt Reynolds; I saw myself as Edward Blake.

Being an actor is a crazy way to spend one's life. It's the love of the game. Blind luck has a lot to do with it. Then you hope when you get your shot that you know what you're doing.

Comedian sort of enjoys the darkness because, essentially, he's a thug. He's just not a nice guy.

He is scary as the butcher, but you will not meet a lovelier, more interesting guy than Danny Huston. His stories leave me spellbound. I adore him.

I always was irritated doing network television... You're in love, you make love. That happens.

I am a family man at heart.

I can't say enough about Ireland. I can't. I'd move there.

I didn't even know what a mark was, but I fell in love with acting.

I do some of my best work when I'm dead.

I don't need to practice my swing. I grew up with a bat in my hands.

I don't think I could last in anything for 10 years doing a character.

I don't think that I'm as big as Lobo is, but if you could, like, transplant Mickey Rourke's body on my head, that would be just great.

I feel like every day I'm exceedingly lucky.

I feel like if you shoot one scene all day long or you take two days to do a scene, that scene is going to be stale.

I go to Comic-Con every year, generally with some project of some sort.

I grew up with my uncle's comic books at my grandma's house, so I've always loved my comic book reading.

I had no intention of being an actor, ever.

I have a lot of respect for what I do, for this profession.

I have this weird allergy where metal can't touch my skin.

I haven't watched a lot of episodes of 'The Good Wife.' I never even saw the show until I signed on, and then I watched seven episodes.

I just didn't want to get bored playing a character, and that's kind of the benefit of doing films; you've lived with a character for four or five months and that's it, and you walk away from that character and you feel like you told a story.

I know that my foot is firmly wedged in the door, and I'll be damned if I pull it out, even for a second.

I like to push myself, you know.

I literally will write Shonda Rhimes, the creator of 'Grey's,' an e-mail once a month or so and just say, 'Hey, I love you and thank you.' That was my moment. Because of that, I'm doing 'Magic City.'

I live in the woods, so really the only way you can get to me is if you send a letter.

I love Bill Murray, but I'm not quite Bill Murray. I wish!

I love acting, but the star part is not my bag.

I love myself a truffle. I can put a truffle in anything and make it good.

I love playing a villain. I think that there's something freeing about that, and it's a different kind of challenge.

I love the challenge of having an audience know what you're thinking without having to tell the audience what you're thinking.

I love what I do for a living, but the other side, that aspect of being famous or a celebrity's got zero interest to me.

I think the challenge for me in this role is going to be, is there any heart in Negan? For me, I look at that as a challenge as an actor, and that's the kind of thing that I embrace and really look forward to.

I think you judge your career by the scripts that are being sent your way.

I think, before 'Watchmen,' I was the guy from 'Grey's Anatomy' who's a pretty good guy, a pretty charming sweet guy, and so as an actor, I really wanted to do something as far from that as I could.

I usually play tough guys and stuff like that.

I want to be with people I care about and hang out with my dogs.

I was a huge fan of the original Red Dawn. America and brothers, you can't beat that in my world. I think there's nothing greater.

I was almost ready to call it quits - sick of doing a job and then being back on the unemployment line and trying to make ends meet. But I loved acting and didn't know what else to do.
