To explore different parts of yourself and different emotional lives… not to hide from who you are but to actually explore who you are.

I have a million acquaintances but just two or three true friends. I can’t hide anything from them.

I kind of think too much, I try do too many things at once.

You can’t get anywhere without the people who have come into your life.

It’s great to play the charming guy we all want to be associated with. But a character with a bizarre mind and given to committing horribly illegal actions can be fascinating. Sometimes it’s more interesting to portray someone who battles his thirst for wrong and tries to understand it.

Two guys kissing is not as sexy as two girls kissing. When Selma Blair made out with Sarah-what’s-her-name, that was hot. Me and James Van Der Beek making out is not hot, it’s rather disgusting. We both looked at each other and said, ‘Dude, don’t stick your tongue in my mouth.’

You can spend it on drugs and rock ‘n’ roll, but you shouldn’t have to spend it on sex; that should just kind of come to you. That should be free.

I have a beach house in Malibu, so I’ll go there, grab a surfboard or a sea kayak or whatever, and get outta here. The quality of life is so much higher anyplace you can ski in the morning and surf in the evening–there’s something to be said for that.

It was really intense. You’re covered in bug spray and dirt and makeup, and it’s 95 degrees with no wind, and you’re on a beach surrounded by fire. By the end of the episode, you would have to go home and get scrubbed. But I love Hawaii. I will absolutely live there some day. In fact, I almost bought a house there–but, two days before I was going to fly back to look at one, I found out that my character was being killed off.
