I'm from the US of A. Born in Des Moines, raised in the New York suburbs.

Well I'm a longtime AOL subscriber and I love the whole thing. I'm an email junkie and I love the internet, though 7th Heaven doesn't give me much free time to surf these days.

I'd be happy to do Star Trek again, if the writing was right.

Writing a book is such a full-time job. If you're away for a few days, you have to start again.

There starts to be an overlap between you and the character.

I'm from the US of A. Born in Des Moines, raised in the New York suburbs.

I spent 26 years in the business without ever knowing what I was doing a month from now.

But I loved the script to 7th Heaven and couldn't say no. It made me laugh and cry, and I was hooked. I'd love to know who turned it down, because I'm sure at least one other actor did. But I'm glad he did, whoever it was.

The script was just the best I'd read in a long time and I love the humor, which I wasn't expecting, and I like the fact that my six year old daughter can see the show without being, you know, protected from it.

I don't think this show would have come to me 10 years ago. It continues to be this wonderful miracle.

Aaron is not at all what his image might indicate. He's fiercly loyal and a true and total gentleman. He's very shy but has very strong opinions. He's into everything, wardrobe, hair, script, casting.

You need to develop, somehow, a huge amount of faith and confidence in yourself, because there's a lot of rejection throughout an actor's life and you have to believe in yourself more than anyone else.

Bit parts in Mediocre TV shows won't develop your acting chops.

I have an almost seven year old... I think it's essential to be consistent with kids. And truthful, without scaring them. I could go on for hours on this one.

Part of the beauty of the show in a way is that he's not perfect, but you can always count on him to do the right thing in a pinch. That's why he inspires people and inspires me.

Don't try to start a career in LA, unless money is all you're interested in.

I took the role because it's rare to read a script that makes me laugh and cry, and it spoke to my own religious feelings, as well as giving me a chance to draw on my experience as a parent. Accepting it was a no-brainer.

In Hawaii, we go to this wonderful place, all families. My wife and I go directly from breakfast to a beach chair where we read all day. My daughter goes from water to pool to running around with friends she meets, some of whom are regulars there.

I might be in an airport, late or angry with a ticket person, and I'm going to sort of check myself, because part of me is seen as Eric Camden. We all need as much help as we can get. It's a role model to me as much as to anybody else.

When you put a group of actors together who get along, and we have since day one, they don't become like their roles. What tends to happen is their age disappears and they all deal with each other as friends.

I go to St. Matthews in Pacific Palisades, an Episcopal Church.

There are many exceptions, but New York is a great place to start a career.

I'm working on a new novel, in its 3rd draft, but it's hard to write while doing 7th Heaven.

I can't come on like a parent to these kids, if I do, I won't be able to have fun working with them. The good news is they all have parents. The younger ones, their parents by law have to be on set.

The process of doing plays will make you an actor.

After 30 a body has a mind of its own.

When I was a teenager, if you'd asked me, I would have said I was in a relationship with New York City. It was my first real love.

As a songwriter, I do kind of look at 'Santa Monica' as a thing outside of itself, because it isn't just my song. This is a song a lot of people tell me is a part of their high school or college years. That means a lot to me.

I still dream about that one opportunity where the Welsh Rugby Union call me up and say, 'We need you.' There is an incredibly talented Welsh hooker called Matthew Rees, so maybe some incredible quirk of misfortune for him would mean I get called up instead.

When I was little, my mom was an actress, and she still is now, and she'd go on commercial auditions, and if they needed a mom and a son, she'd take me along, and that's how I got started.

A man is not idle because he is absorbed in thought. There is a visible labor and there is an invisible labor.

Dancing with the feet is one thing but dancing with the heart is another.

I haven't lived a perfect life. I have regrets. But that's from a lifetime of taking chances, making decisions, and trying not to be frozen. The only thing that I can do with my regrets is understand them.

I grew up in Chicago, and there was always snow. In Los Angeles there never was, so we would always import snow!

They say the first thing to go is your legs, then it's your reflexes, then it's your friends.

I am happy to have now as Danny finally a more difficult role, in which I can shoot and fight.

Fighting in the UFC means that I'm at the top of the sport, and it means that I'm able to pursue my goal of being a champion in the UFC.

I like the pop music, but I still want to have meaning in my music.

People come to the theatre to be excited and uplifted - I want to inspire my audience.

I don't want to be considered a gymnast anymore.

The mind and the voice by themselves are not sufficient.

I ask the people of Connecticut for their forgiveness, I should have paid more attention to people around me and people that I trusted but I am sorry for my actions and take full responsibility.

The true spirit of conversation consists in building on another mans observation not overturning it.

September 11, 2001, revealed heroism in ordinary people who might have gone through their lives never called upon to demonstrate the extent of their courage.

I don't temper how I feel. I'm Greek. I've got emotions.

As critical acclaim and response has built up, every interview I give is a chance to puncture the myth I've created about my work and refine it.

Over intellect will make you a genius, over emotions will make you a lunatic.

I can imagine no society which does not embody some method of arbitration.

Long after the bomb falls and you and your good deeds are gone, cockroaches will still be here, prowling the streets like armored cars.
