The reason so many celebrities try to keep things secret is you want the chance to get to know someone without the glare of public scrutiny.

My mother never married my father. She was married to and divorced from another man, then she married and divorced my stepfather and then, ultimately, they ended up getting back together.

Having a profile means you have to be cautious of who you let into your world, as you don't know if they're being genuine or not, but it's more that it can be a strain on your relationships.

I don't think I'm destined to be the eternal bachelor.

You should only be in a relationship if it adds to your life.

I think there are shows that are long-running and successful, where some or all of the cast members hate each other, but I think it's a lot easier to have an environment where everyone feels secure...

You connect with who you connect with, and if your feelings are strong enough then you'll make that work.

If my shirt's off all the time on national TV, with 20 million people watching, I want to look my best.

I never really had that father figure to look up to. I think that's the reason I'm so ambitious. I felt like I wasn't appreciated as a child so I wanted to prove my worth as an adult, as an actor.

It's a privilege to act, and you have to protect and cherish it.
