I did some theatre. I had some smaller roles in a couple TV shows and films. I used to think I did a lot of acting, but my 'career' started when I started 'Homeland'.

It's so insane to me that this is my actual job, that I get to come to set and do what I enjoy doing and get paid for it.

I'm not good at Disney acting. I'm really not. I never was on that audition list, which I don't mind. I don't know. I look back, and I'm kind of wiping my forehead at the thought of, 'What if I had gone that route?'

Everyone knows kids who are snotty, and I wouldn't consider myself one of them, but it's easy to understand where they're coming from.

Thanks to the fact that the Earth isn't a perfect sphere, and invoking a bunch of Newtonian physics, you can deduce that our planet wobbles, too, taking roughly 26,000 years to trace out a small circle on the sky, a phenomenon known as precession.

I think the thing about love is that even though the things around us change, we as human beings, a lot of the ways we interact, and the ways we love each other is timeless. It requires trust, honesty, commitment, romance, and physical chemistry.

No inanimate object is ever fully determined by the laws of physics and chemistry.

The influence of a science adviser is only as good as ears open to that science advice.
