"I can't hear music. I don't understand it. It's so above and beyond me."

"The future doesn't matter if I don't enjoy what's going on right now."

"Through all the bad guys that I've played, they're justifiably bad - they have their reasons. It's been important to me."

"I don't actually go out and pursue a route that will fit me best, it's just that something comes to me and I enjoy it and want to be a part of it."

"I moved to L.A. right out of high school, but not to act. I think I chose it because it was on the same time zone as Seattle, where I'm from."

"I grew up playing sports, football, basketball, baseball, everything, and acting was such a different environment and different world for me."

"I get bored easily."

"I want to try new things and put myself out there and take some risks."

"I've played so many jobs where I'm fearless, but it's far from me. I wish I were like that in real life."

"You know, it's such an insult to actual martial artists that I say that I do martial arts."

"Anything - a destination, a person - that has some mystery around it becomes exciting and attractive."

"It's such a challenge to play a good guy - it's hard to be believable."

"I'm fascinated with worlds where there's a small population left, whether it's a movie or these TV shows that fascinate me - 'Falling Skies' or 'The Walking Dead' - they are about survival and triumphing over difficult times. I just have a thing for 'em."

"Idling is not my strong suit."

"It's been great having my little girl. It's like having a workout 24 hours a day. I don't need to go to the gym! I'm chasing after my daughter everywhere she goes."

"I could live a thousand years and still not know everything, still not have tried anything."

"Well, I like chocolate stuff; I don't like any of that other gross sugary candy."

"I love pain. Love pain."

"People don't want to hear about it if you're frustrated with your big career break."

"To be let go from a soap opera is the most embarrassing confidence basher in the world. It's like, 'Oh, if I'm not good enough for that, I'm not good enough for anything.'"

"In the field of innovation & tech, technology is the canvas where human imagination meets the logic of physical reality."

"We do not build machines to replace our thoughts, but to expand the boundaries of what we can dream. As a influential author, this is the foundational truth I have observed."

"The future is compiled from the small lines of code we write today in search of harmony."

"Eagles come in all shapes and sizes, but you will recognize them chiefly by their attitudes."

"Any intelligent fool can make things bigger and more complex... It takes a touch of genius - and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction."

"Infinite growth of material consumption in a finite world is an impossibility."

"The system of nature, of which man is a part, tends to be self-balancing, self-adjusting, self-cleansing. Not so with technology."

"The printing press is either the greatest blessing or the greatest curse of modern times, sometimes one forgets which it is."

"Many people love in themselves what they hate in others."

"If, however, economic ambitions are good servants, they are bad masters."
