Some people think it's because '24' was jump-started by what happened on 9/11. That was never why we made the show. We started production six months prior to 9/11, and we'd already done ten episodes.
My focus on 9/11 was on the victims - in the towers, in the planes - and all that loss.
I don't have to follow your orders. I don't work here anymore.
I commend Julia for seeing how young and silly we were, even at the last minute, even as painful and as difficult as it was. Thank God she saw it.
I didn't realize that television has gone through immense changes and has become very progressive.
I remember being really grateful that David Lynch had actually even thought of casting me, because I was a huge fan of his.
I've always thought of the western as American storytelling at its best.
Theres 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 writers keep managing to turn the show in on itself, coming up with something that's well thought-out and miraculous.
Isn't it funny? You hear a phone ring and it could be anybody. But, a ringing phone has to be answered doesn't it?
I had an unbelievable experience on '24'. We shot 198 episodes, and I was as excited about shooting the 198th as I was the first.
When I wasn't the flavor of the week or month or day, those were hard times.
I feel extraordinarily peaceful when I'm watching the sun set.
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!'
