My philosophy is that the most important aspect of any religion should be human kindness. And to try to ease the suffering of others. To try to bring light and love into the lives of mankind.

One of the reasons why people - particularly young people - love action movies is because what they are really looking for is justice.

As a lifelong practitioner of martial arts, I'm trained to remain calm in the face of adversity and danger.

I've been a police officer for over 20 years, and I've investigated murders and all kinds of different crimes.

Always realize that even your strongest advocate and opponent is a part of the human family; albeit they may have small shortcomings and even strength in them, they are part of that human family.

All three of my parents - I also had a stepmother - were teachers, and my dad taught high school, and as he always reminded me when I was going to spend some money on something, 'Your mother and I, in the Depression, had to decide whether to spend a dime on a loaf of bread or if we could go to a movie with it.'

The whole time I was on 'Grey's,' I'm still reconciling myself to my 11-year-old son, because he never saw me during that time. By the time he got up, he'd see a dent in his pillow, but by the time I got home, he was already asleep. So for three years, he had a daddy that he never saw because I had to work.

My father's a firefighter. He was my whole life. And my brother-in-law and several family members are firefighters.
