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.
My parents not only did it for a living, but they were really good at it.
I'm always jumping in my seat or gasping during a good horror movie.
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!'
I'm federal agent Jack Bauer, and this is the longest day of my life.
Most of my career I've spent really nervous. Just about work, getting work and having it in.
There are certain moments that you have to hit in a film, like when a character cries.
If you're going to break cinema, film, and movies apart, very rarely to you get the opportunity to even think that you've been a part of cinema.
Westerns just thematically, as a genre, have kind of a few tent poles that I really admire, and one of them is this perception that life was simpler back then. And with that perception goes that people were good or people were bad. You survived by your strengths or you perished by your weaknesses.
I didn't grow up with my dad, so it was always very funny to me, and always has been, what an important part DNA plays in one's life.
