It's a roll of the dice in the movie business. I mean, every single movie is a roll of the dice. Any movie on paper could look like it's going to be fantastic. You know what I mean?

I actually love working with accents. I don't know, something about it unlocks something in me. It makes me concentrate on getting into character a little more, helps me find a focus.

I love whiskey and haggis. I can't get enough of either.

It’s been such an honor to be your Owen Hunt

If a man comes up to me, I'm almost sure he's going to mention Rome, if it's a woman, it'll be 'Grey's Anatomy.'

I'm always very excited by something that's a curveball or from left field.

I was asked to be in the last two 'Harry Potter' films and I couldn't do it because I was busy filming 'Grey's Anatomy.

Grey's' is just a machine. I wasn't really prepared for the epic nature of how popular the show is.

I am the god of being messy - I'm trying to get better. I was terrible in my 20s. My kids are much tidier than I am, I don't know where they get it from, maybe their mother.

One of my complaints with American TV characters is that they all have a particular schtick, a hook.

I really just like acting. I'm not always aware of what is hip and what is popular and what is zeitgeist.

Considering things in the ecumenical measure, we are the microbes of the Universe.

America has never quite forgiven Europe for having been discovered somewhat earlier in history than itself.

Set a beggar on horseback and he will ride a gallop.

It is the function of art to renew our perception. What we are familiar with we cease to see. The writer shakes up the familiar scene and as if by magic we see a new meaning in it.

I very rarely play the piano at home. Deliberately, so that when I do play it, I love it.

What, what am I to do with all of this life?

It's the stuff that happens right in front of your face when there's no routine and everything is unexpected. That's what I want to write about.

I just thought, there are very few stories involving me, Anna Nicole Smith, and Jesus.

Now, how can I be anti-woman? I even judged the Miss America pageant.
