I find that communication as an actor and person is an important part of who I am. And I’m really drawn into the psychology of those dynamics.

ZACHARY QUINTOMy return to the theater in New York was so specific. I didn’t want it to be about leveraging my exposure or my fame, so the first show I did in New York was an ensemble piece at an Off-Broadway theater, and I wanted to make sure that it was just about the play and about the experience.
ZACHARY QUINTOWe’re living in an increasingly nationalistic, xenophobic time, and you can see it reflected in societies all over the world.
ZACHARY QUINTOI had just gotten Heroes, and I had just found out that I was going to be doing [Star] Trek, and I thought it was probably a good idea for me to create an infrastructure that would allow me to do my own work and put my stuff into the world.
ZACHARY QUINTOI would love to be a voice in this maelstrom of chaos and obsessive celebrity infatuation that says, ‘Let’s talk about something that matters’.
ZACHARY QUINTOIt is my intention to live an authentic life of compassion and integrity and action.
ZACHARY QUINTOI changed all my passwords. I have no any two passwords that are the same for any service online. I have two-step verification enabled on all my devices…so yeah, I did take some extra steps that I hadn’t taken before being exposed to this world.
ZACHARY QUINTOBut when I found out that Jamey Rodemeyer had made an It Gets Better video only months before taking his own life, I felt indescribable despair.
ZACHARY QUINTOI’m a big believer in the notion that our greatest potential lies in our darkest parts. To a certain extent it’s only in facing those parts of ourselves that we can truly grow, and I think that’s true of all of the characters I’ve played, certainly in the past few years.
ZACHARY QUINTOHeroes and Star Trek were 2006 and 2007, and I was just about to turn 30, and everything changed. I found myself on this amazing journey, which continues, but it’s now at a natural transition point. I’m reevaluating and reexamining how and where I go from here.
ZACHARY QUINTOI knew I needed a partner. I needed someone who could focus on and spearhead the business side of things, and [Neal Dodson] was great at that. That’s how it started.
ZACHARY QUINTOI would say auditioning was my real training ground. The technical aspects – like hitting marks and pacing yourself and preparing and dealing with the downtime – the first recurring role I had on 24 was probably the way I learned that stuff.
ZACHARY QUINTOI loved auditioning because it was just an opportunity to act. Whether or not I got the job was the next hurdle, but the idea that I would get to act that day was the thing that excited me the most about it.
ZACHARY QUINTOIt’s a very complicated landscape and I don’t think there’s one easy answer about it [Edard Snowden movie].
ZACHARY QUINTOI probably get eight straight hours of acting in an entire season or two seasons of Suits. It’s broken into such small pieces.
ZACHARY QUINTOWhen I got out of school, it used to be that it was theater actors that ended up doing film and television, and you had to come from the theater to be taken seriously in that world.
