In Europe they call geeks 'smart people,' and frankly I think we live in a culture that doesn't value intelligence enough; so I am very proud in saying that I am a geek.Collection: Intelligence
I think truth is weirder than fiction.
Forties are good! I'm thinking with my brain now, which is a lot more clear, and women seem to appreciate that. It's a wonderful decade where you're in control of yourself but the women are still interested.
I like the 'Science Channel,' the 'Discovery Channel,' I like 'Discovery Times,' which is a fabulous hybrid of the 'New York Times' and 'Discovery Channel.' Maybe I'm just an old man, but I like to watch that stuff.
I love to sweat.
'Dragonball' is the coolest television cartoon in the last 50,000 years.
I'm quite comfortable with being a geek. I've been a geek since high school.
I don't have a computer - I don't like to get into it that much 'cause it can screw with your head a little.
It's all magic to me. Country to punk rock, all of it. Chopin to Kurt Cobain. But it always all comes back to punk for me, because that was the last time, punk rock or grunge rock, was the last time that passion ruled the airwaves.
Speed Racer is good to cut your teeth on, but if anyone has not seen Akira, go get it.
When you are a hero you are always running to save someone, sweating, worried and guilty. When you are a villain you are just lurking in the shadows waiting for the hero to pass by. Then you pop them in the head and go home... piece of cake.
I like all music. Well, I don't like music that was created to make money. I don't really like bands that don't write their own music.
My personal philosophy would be don't whine, don't let opportunities pass you by, be willing to work hard, and remember that you don't know as much as you think you do, ever.
Yes, we were looking for a Faith spin-off, but then Faith backed down. Eliza got a really wonderful offer over on Fox in a show, and, for reasons I didn't talk to her about, she decided to go there, and everyone respects that.
It's just the absolute bomb. Ghost in the Shell was really good, it's a little bit more recent.
I am a lucky regional theater actor who happened to get a good role.
I love to work. When I was a kid, I would invite my friends over to play, then I would take them over to a recycling plant and we would haul glass all day. They hated me for this, but I thought it was fun.
It would have to be connected with performance art somehow, either in the front of the house or the back. I was myopic about this from fourth grade on.
Tough guy Spike was always the funnest, but I'm most proud of the more recent stuff, the last season, I think.
I don't know much about the Internet, I'm afraid.
Anne Rice really doesn't explore vampires as hideous monsters of the night, they're ancient creatures with a heart. And they want to be loved and they want connections just like we do.
So, I'm going to go over on Angel. Joss is just going to find a way to keep me bleaching my hair, which is fine.
The difference between Pride Jaguar and the Drago-Kazov? A Jaguar will stab you in the back to gain an advantage. a Dragan will stab you just to see if his knife is sharp.Collection: Pride

I don't know if any of us are mature enough to handle the brutal honesty of what's inside other people's heads.Collection: Honesty
Being a hero doesn't mean you succeed in saving the day. It just means you tried.Collection: Hero
Always communicate no matter how hard it is to tell someone something's wrong. It's worse not to talk about it. I learn this every few years. The truth hurts for 3 days. Lack of truth hurts your whole life.Collection: Hurt
I was uncomfortable with smoking too much because a lot of young kids watch and I didn't want to make that cool.Collection: Kids
It's all magic to me. Country to punk rock, all of it. Chopin to Kurt Cobain. But it always all comes back to punk for me, because that was the last time, punk rock or grunge rock, was the last time that passion ruled the airwavesCollection: Country
I'm a psychopath, but I don't have a problem with that.Collection: Problem
I love anybody who has convictions enough to make mistakes because only people who make mistakes get into enough trouble to be called drama, I think.Collection: Mistake
I tend to be emotional when... I breathe.Collection: Emotional
One of the best things about humans is we recognize patterns, so we get things like science, music, philosophy. One of the worst things is that we see patterns that are not there so we get things like racism, homophobia and Jerry Falwell.Collection: Philosophy

I think that there are just people who are hurting other people, sometimes for the best of intentions and sometimes for the worst. In different times in my life, I've been the hero and I've been the villain. I also think that we're all evil sometimes.Collection: Hurt
For me, chemistry is trust. If you have trust you can risk together. It's like a partnership and it means you can have fun together while jumping off a mountain. I have not always been able to get good trust with an acting partner. One of the best was Juliet Landau; I always felt safe with her. Chemistry has nothing to do with physical attraction - that often gets in the way.Collection: Fun
Andy [Hallett] was a real man - you can tell an adult by how they deal with pain or adversity. Andy's eyeballs gave him searing pain all day every day because of the contacts they used. He was every moment a gentlemen; laughing and joking, wiping the tears from his eyes.Collection: Pain
I'm just getting to know myself. I'm no wherwhere near to being concise about it yet. I can't define myself. Wait a minute - I'm angry, I'm funny and I'm trying.Collection: Waiting
Joss Whedon said to me, 'If you think you are taking over the show, you have got another think coming.' He said, 'You are here only because I don't want to kill a villain off every week. I want my villains to be more interesting and multifaceted and then die.'Collection: Thinking
I'm really interested with the way light plays on images and one of the artists that really reawakened my interest in comic books was Frank Miller and his treatment of Daredevil, and then Wolverine and, of course, Batman.Collection: Book
Clowns make me... Think.Collection: Thinking
When you listen to Prince you have no idea what decade it's from. It's beyond time.Collection: Ideas
I like all music. Well, I don't like music that was created to make money. I don't really like bands that don't write their own musicCollection: Writing
I'm not an ad-libber. If I'm asked to ad-lib, I can ad-lib forever and it's really fun to do that, but I find that well-written scripts are put together very carefully. Once you start to ad-lib and add words to sentences, there's a slacking that happens. When it's good writing, it's taut. I'm not judging people who do ad-lib.Collection: Fun
I patterned the accent after this guy I was in a play with, but that was three years ago. Now I'm listening to Tony Head (Giles in Buffy), who sounds kind of like Spike in real life. It's much more tough-guy talk in real life. His accent (as Giles) is just as fake as mine. His is nice and gritty, but it's not North London. I'm always afraid that I'm morphing over into Tony Head, wherever he's from.Collection: Real
