Actor

All I want out of a television show is that I be intrigued and entertained.

I started my career, actually, maybe the first 10, 11 years, playing the bad boyfriend with the gun. And I got ill with that and moved on, for some reason, to playing cops all the time.

I had known that I'd wanted to be an actor from a very early age, but I had always known that I wanted to have a dual career. I wanted to be an actor, and I also at that time wanted to be a rock star.

I'm not a guy who has ever seen the inside of a gym.

I can do without a television or a telephone, I think.

I watch movies, and if I get the chance to watch television, I'm usually prone to watching something completely mindless and mundane that I don't have to follow so closely.

I've been kicking around in this business for 20-something years now, and there's actually few times where you can look at the piece of work that's put out there, and you can actually be proud of it.

I am not a big reader to begin with.

I will do anything, and I do almost everything myself. But when there is something extra heinous to do, I have a great stunt double, Eddie Davenport, and a great stunt coordinator, Jeff Wolfe.

No one could have predicted the cultural phenomenon 'Twilight' has become.

I'm just not a good reader, so I haven't been able to sit down and get myself through an entire book in my whole life.

I'm not one of those people who gets starry-eyed.
