I loved my time doing 'Private Practice' in Los Angeles, and I was quite challenged and excited to learn about the art of television, but I missed being on the stage.
I think with the whole new Internet media, I'm not necessarily Internet savvy, but I just feel that the way that art in general will be presented to the public is going to be different.
People are surprised at how down-to-earth I am. I like to stay home on Friday nights and listen to 'The Art of Happiness' by the Dalai Lama.
I hope what I do has an art to it, and as an artist you have to try new things and keep yourself entertained.
I have no illusions about my art. I am what the public made me and, consequently, I am not likely to forget my debt to them.
I'm learning with my mom how to cook more Spanish food. I'm trying to make a good paella, but that's a real art.
One wants to think that - and this is really a stupid thought - that through your art or whatever you do as an actor you can actually affect someone else's lives and thoughts or whatever.
You don't need tons of money to create art. You do need tons of money to be a part of show business. They are two different things.
Art is all about the experience. I could say I don't really relate to opera, but then you watch Placido Domingo, and you go, 'Blimey, look at that.'
For me, being in front of a camera is a matter of practicing and refining your art. I think, if you're telling a story worth telling, it's worth investing the time into developing.
There's this shop in New York I go to; it has bones and fossils and insects that are like works of art. I have a few on my wall.
All musicians need a day job in the beginning. Unless they still live with their parents, I guess. I'm just lucky that my day job is simply another form of art.
Not just art for art's sake, but I want to have films out there that will provoke authentic, holistic conversations about the human condition. And not provide the easy answers, but put it out there.
All I want to do is make sure that art is available to all Americans in a participatory way, whether you engage in the art process yourself or you're an audience member.
My parents were always supportive of me in terms of expressing myself artistically. Art, musical instruments, singing - whatever I did, they were just really supportive.
I wanted to work in the arts. My dream come true would be to be an architectural historian and work with the royal palaces and all the fabulous art collections. But I'm not committed enough.
Celebrity doesn't have anything to do with art or craft. It's about being rich and thinking that you're better than everybody else.
At the University of Maryland, my first year I started off planning to major in art because I was interested in theatre design, stage design or television design.
I think that in Sweden and a lot of European countries, there's this whole mythology of the wounded artist: that you can't really do any great art unless you're suffering.
I can't pretend that I'm a great student of the art of comedy because anybody that becomes philosophical about humour doesn't know what he's talking about.
When I work with my art department on putting imagery together for my blog posts I always think, 'Would I pin this?' That really helps.
