“A destination wedding weeds out all the people who might potentially get their noses out of joint, so only the troupers would be there.”

The kind of people that love ‘The Rocketeer’ are the kind of people that love good storytelling and innocence and a better world, so to speak, so they’re almost always nice people to bump into.

The fear of making permanent commitments can change the mutual love of husband and wife into two loves of self-two loves existing side by side, until they end in separation.

This is one of the ways in which television can actually be good, and even better than the movies, because it gives you a chance to tell a long story.

Everything about acting is a challenge. I’m self-conscious. You couldn’t do anything to cause me to be more self-conscious than to stick a camera in my face and have 60 people standing behind it, waiting for me to perform.

Four key words–helped make my dreams come true. They are: dedication, balance, risk, and love.

I would love to see a sequel to ‘The Rocketeer.’ I’d love to see that! I don’t know that I would be in it.

Some of the best auditions I’ve ever had have been when my agent called and said, ‘They want you 20 minutes ago, in an office in Century City, to see you for something.’

To me, the AMC brand is great storytelling – they call it slow-burn storytelling.

The first trip I remember taking was on the train from Virginia up to New York City, watching the summertime countryside rolling past the window. They used white linen tablecloths in the dining car in those days, and real silver.

If I ever get married, I’d like to pick a place so hard to reach that only a few people would turn up-like the North Pole.

Oh, I’m nerdy about science fiction and fantasy and graphic novels and reading, and I’m nerdy about board games.

On land, you can walk away from people, from unpleasant situations. But when you’re on a ship for 14 months with 49 other people, if you don’t resolve your issues it literally could mean – and this would be an extreme circumstance – the sinking of the ship.

I don’t have any complex plans for playing a character. I think all I try to do is not make too many bad guy faces and not ever try to seem too good. I just try to put it in the middle somewhere.

I pretend I’m the producer and I think, “If I was making this movie, would I cast myself in this part?,” and if that doesn’t feel right to me, then I don’t even go audition for it.

My favorite board game is a board game I’m working on right now. It’s a game of Napoleonic era naval warfare, and it’s going to be fun.

The South Downs of England reminded me a bit of my Old Virginia homeland.

To make marijuana against the law is like saying God made a big mistake.

Where would the gardener be if there were no more weeds?

Smoking’s a way to let you down slowly from a ballgame. It also makes you use less of the resources around. It makes people better in the way they act towards society. Everybody’s nicer. It’s hard to be mean when you’re stoned.

Let us burn one from end to end, and pass it over to me my friend.

Unfortunately, in the very act of weeding, you make it possible for new weeds to grow.

That’s what I do… Some people smoke weed, some people smoke cigarettes, some people snort coke… I pop pills, I smoke and I drink syrup, that’s my twist.

This practice of yoga is to remove the weeds from the body so that the garden can grow.

They whom truth and wisdom lead, can gather honey from a weed.
