I'm a dog lover. With the holidays, everything gets a little bit hectic. There's a lot on your mind, and maybe you forget that your animals also feel that stress as well. So try to keep them on the same routine; try to keep the chocolate out of their mouth.

I don't have a gardener, because I enjoy pulling weeds. It's hard to explain, but there is something fulfilling about pulling out a weed and knowing that you got all the roots.
It's all about story and character with me, and I don't care if the job is on daytime or prime time or the web. Hey, give me a good character and someone to listen, and I'll do my acting on a street corner.
I think any time you have a show that, after you watch it, it sort of sits with you for a while, and you take pause and you talk about it, yeah, it affects your life.
'Game of Thrones' is a good one to binge-watch, except you realize at the end of every episode that you've been holding your breath for, like, 30 minutes, which is probably not good for your brain.
Anytime you can get people to watch you on anything, it's very flattering.
I channel a lot of my own personal relationships anytime I prep for something.
That New York energy, when you've got the benefit of great weather, it really is terrific. You look up at that skyline, and the Empire State Building is literally in your eyesight - there's nothing like that.
One of the things I wanted to do was direct. There've been a couple of times that a director will walk up and say something to me, and all it does is make me mad. Inside I'll go, 'Well, that wasn't helpful at all.'
Every job you have, there are days that are more difficult than others. I worked on a daytime soap opera, where the volume at which you're producing this medium is incredible.
I found a very comfortable style in that if I know everyone's job around me, it's going to make me better at my job.
Unfortunately, I know very little about Indian cinema. I know we have Bollywood... But my knowledge about it is very little.
I love me some Martin Sheen.
Certainly my time on 'Revenge' was great; it was a different character I'd never played before.
People will come up and say - and it is insulting - 'Do you ever want to do anything else? Like some real acting? Or a real show?' Here's the thing: You can either get upset about that, or you can realize that that person isn't trying to offend you. They're literally interested, and they're asking you a question.
You mess up as a dad, and you have your worst moments.
I have the greatest fans. I have fans that come from soap opera world. I have fans that come from superhero world, which are a whole different section of fans. They're so cool. When people are fanatical about something, it's contagious.
I became interested in 'Smallville' when 'Aquaman' was not picked up and my mortgage was due. Kidding. The real reason is that it was an easy decision.
I was the worst actor, but here's the cool thing about it: I had no idea.
I mean, 15 - that is such a pivotal time in a young man's life.
Any father can relate to feeling like a superhero when you put a Band-Aid on your kid.
If you sit and feel sorry for yourself, you're wasting your time. You should be in acting class, instead of feeling sorry for yourself. You should be working.
I know, who doesn't want to play a superhero, right? And everyone wants to play Superman or Batman. Everyone wants to play a superhero.
I'm so pumped about joining 'Y&R' - I watch it all the time and can't wait to get in there and get my hands dirty!
I have great respect for daytime drama. I love the branding. I love the style. What can I say? I love good soap!
Your relationship with your sister-in-law is hingeing on your brother's - or your sister-in-law's - ability to keep that relationship together.
Whether it be with your parents or your siblings, everyone is dealing with different kinds of things.
I've taken a lot of risks as far as turning down money to do something I guess I thought was more meaningful. But I don't know if that's the best piece of advice, because I've also struggled with money, when I could have had a little more if I'd just taken the damn job.
I haven't ever had so many women come up to me and tell me that I made them cry. And they're smiling about it, which is kind of an odd thing. Usually it's not a good thing.
My mother always told me, 'Don't make women cry.'
Just because it reads well doesn't mean it's always going to look good on screen. Then, a network or studio has to pick up the show, and then they have to order more episodes, and then people have to watch it. It could be the greatest thing on television that nobody ever watches.
'Smallville' was one of those things where we worked a lot of nights, and there were a lot of physical scenes. I was hurt a lot, but I loved it! The 'Revenge' cast was also one of the greatest, most gracious casts I've ever been a part of.
I've been lucky. I've never really had a job that I did that I didn't like.
There are people that have watched everything I've done, which is so sweet. Sometimes I'm grateful for that; sometimes I feel like I have to apologize.
It's interesting because I'll be out, and someone will say, 'I just loved you on 'Passions'! Did you just quit acting after that?'.
I love acting, and so whenever I get the opportunity to act, I'm happy. I'm easy to please when it comes to that kind of stuff. I don't know what I'd do without it.
A lot of times, you watch a trailer for something, and then by the time you get to see the actual movie or show, you realize that the best parts were in the trailer.
Every time you turn on the TV, you see some kind of heartbreaking story.
I think whenever any kind of hardship or tragedy comes along, it usually pulls a family closer together or, at least, hopefully.
There's death and there's loss, but there's also celebrations, right?
I can tell you that good people do bad things.
I'm fortunate enough that I have my father in my life, but I would imagine losing your father at 15, 16, 17 is a lot different than losing your father at 36, 37, 38.
It's weird. You find a safe place in someone who you feel like maybe they can't judge you because they don't know you.
If I bring my work home, it's wonderful.
This is not just like a job. This is like a dream come true!
I always tell people this; when they say, 'What's gonna happen here? What's gonna happen here?' I always tell people, 'You think you want to know, but you really don't. You want to experience the event as it happens on TV.'
I'm second, and so my brother is first. Being second, sometimes you get left out and all of that. The anecdotal stories about the firstborn, the baby, the middle - all of that is true.
'Y&R' is the No. 1 show, and the acting company is exceptional.
Had more confidence than I probably should have in high school. But I do remember feeling like I wish I could physically mature a little faster, fill out. In college it started to happen a little bit more, and my confidence started to grow - then I got out to L.A., and that got squashed immediately.
When you see someone at 6 in the morning with a smile on their face, you know they're having fun.
