• "I don't watch TV much and I don't go to movies much. It's hard to be so involved with 7th Heaven and then watch other shows. You start to critique everything because you're so involved."
• On his life: "My dad on 7th Heaven deals with my character the same way my mom did with me when I was growing up. She taught me a lot of lessons that I didn't understand until I was older."
• Collects memorabilia from the 1970's hit police show Starsky and Hutch, which was also produced by Aaron Spelling.
• "The challenge in playing Bess [in Breaking the Waves] is that, in physical, psychological, intellectual, moral, ethical and political terms, she's a disaster--part saint, part clown. But she has an infinite capacity to love and believe. I tried to make the logic of that transcend those judgements."
• Explaining the appeal of science fiction or comedy: "I just think it would be a real gas to stand there in a spandex tunic and go "warp speed."
