Violent behavior exists in one's psychological makeup much deeper than the level that receives information from television or movies.

I've done performances in movies that I was immensely proud of and the movies didn't take off like a rocket at Cape Canaveral it didn't take off.

Well getting behind the camera is something I've always wanted to get involved with. Ever since I was doing movies like 'Zathura' I was very interested in all the different jobs on set and kind of soaking all the information up like a sponge.

When I was a kid going into the movies you weren't force-fed information everywhere you looked about what the movie was going to be.

I love movies with spectacle but spectacle can be a performance it doesn't have to be a creature.

Some quality performances and movies have a chance to be rewarded but it's not like it's a bible.

When we shoot 24 there are so many things I have to worry about from the script to technical things to my performance that I don't have a second to be bored or take anything for granted. We produce 24 hours of film a season which is like making 12 movies.

I like fantasy. I like horror science fiction because I can get avant-garde with those performances in those movies.

Yesterday morning I amused myself with an exercise of a talent I once possessed but have so neglected that my performance might almost be called an experiment. I cut out a dress for one of the women.

I turned on VH1 this morning just to get a little warm-up before I came over here and I think it's just terrific. There's so much great stuff: diverse and wonderful music good performances great looking girls great videos the whole thing.
