As an actor, you have to have your history.

The gun issue is a big, unresolved issue in this country right now. I think it's out of control.

If I would rescue one of my movies, it would be 'A Little Princess.'

I loved 'Freaks and Geeks.' I don't know a better show.

I went out to Mount Kilimanjaro, which I thought was very beautiful, but there were a lot of people there.

I highly recommend worrying. It is much more effective than dieting.

I don't spend a lot of time watching my performances after the fact. I suck at playing video games, but I'm a fan of the creativity, the brilliance, and the possibility of the industry.

I think Matt Yglesias is wrong to declare that the world of 'This Town' is dying, unless he thinks publicly financed elections, strict lobbying bans and Scandinavian-style wealth distribution are imminent.

After doing 'Doctor Who,' I'm open-minded to doing more acting. Part of the reason you do a show like this is because it creates other opportunities you haven't had before.
