I would not call myself Catholic anymore, but I went to 16 years of Catholic school: grade school, high school and college.

In the summer of 2009, I was at the Shakespeare lab at the public theater in New York.

One of the great things about having been on Lost is people coming up and feeling so enthusiastic about the show and saying, "Oh it provided us so much entertainment," or "It inspired conversations."

I was an English major, so I love discussing possibilities and alternate theories.

I love sci-fi, especially when it thrives on a thought-provoking story, rather than explosions.

I love classical music and often listen to symphonies or opera in the morning.

I can be a bit of a science geek. I tend more towards reading about brain science, neuroscience.

I guess every actor has certain emotions they can access easier than others.

If you think about filmmaking as an entire spectrum, starting with the writer and ending with maybe the marketing department, the actor's contribution is a rather slender band.

I don't think that necessarily I was encouraged by the nuns and the priest to consider alternate possibilities to the universe.

I went to Notre Dame. I don't know if that has any relevance, but maybe we all had a little too much philosophy and theology.

Standing alone is better than standing with people who don't appreciate you.

Considersing the forebearance of a person, Do not harass him.

I really, really wanted to lose awareness of the here and now. The best way for me to do that was bury myself in a book.

It is sensible to have a safeguard against unemployment.

I tried to make the best music that I could possibly make, and then nothing was ever good enough.

Now I'm a pretty lazy person and am prepared to work quite hard in order to avoid work.

Governments are not representative.

Every piece of writing starts from what I call a grit a sight or sound, a sentence or happening that does not pass away but quite inexplicably lodges in the mind.

I am quite sure that if we could but once approach the Most Holy Sacrament with great faith and love, it would suffice to make us rich. How much more so if we approach it often!

Maybe we didn't have many possessions, but we never went hungry, were cold, or lacked love.
