I think the show is working. I think the character is growing on many levels. I think one thing that we're all discovering is that every season has impacted another, and the character has grown, and the character is allowed to carry with him what he has suffered the year before.
I don't have to follow your orders. I don't work here anymore.
I have a tendency to sometimes get a little serious when I'm working, and it's impossible to do around her. I think she's an extraordinary actor and she kind of almost betrays that sometimes because she's got all this energy.
For me to have an opportunity to work with someone like that, it's a fantastic learning experience.
My focus on 9/11 was on the victims - in the towers, in the planes - and all that loss.
There's a confidence that comes from youth and not knowing better. But there comes a point, as an actor, when you do know better, and that is when the fear starts.
The biggest mistakes I made in my career were when I said, 'If I do this movie, I'll be able to do a couple more movies.' Those are the times I really got ugly.
You can't ask the press to service you with everything that they have and not expect some of the other stuff in return if you're going to live your life like I have.
There are aspects of '24' where I love its politics and aspects where I hate them.

I would love to do '24' until I was 60, but I don't think anybody would accept it.
If you are going to do something potentially for another eight years, you want it to be something that you can really sink your teeth in and that's going to be different and interesting for this next period of time.
I was 20 when my daughter was born, and making all these plans during my wife's pregnancy. I was going to be the perfect father. Once she was born, it was suddenly, 'Oh, my God! I'm a parent!'
