This is a horrid generalization, so I'll probably get hate mail from stockbrokers. I would have been forced to get back to work, and would have been less accustomed to being in touch with my feelings and allowing my feelings to drive my decisions and behavior.

I do like taking on responsibility, sometimes too much. But I was aware of that early on and it's something that came up in the previous set of interviews, and that is the actor?s contribution.

I don't think that necessaril...

I don't think that necessarily I was encouraged by the nuns and the priest to consider alternate possibilities to the universe.

I went to Notre Dame. I don't know if that has any relevance, but maybe we all had a little too much philosophy and theology.

Every actor has their own method, so I'm not suggesting what works for me will work for everybody else.

One of the great things about...

One of the great things about having been on Lost is people coming up and feeling so enthusiastic about the show and saying, "Oh it provided us so much entertainment," or "It inspired conversations."

William Mapother 32 quotes

They [teachers] beat it right...

They [teachers] beat it right out of me. Or they beat it into me and educated it out of me. I don't know; that's an interesting question. The Catholic schools required work, so I think that may have been where the work ethic came from, in answer to the question of how my character may have been shaped.

I write, and when see a movie in which it's supernatural, some other worlds, or some other aspect to our world that we're not aware of, and [they] don't explain what the rules are, that kind of stuff drives me crazy.

Generally a wise actor will be very careful about the person to whom he gives that power.

Look, we all know how hard it...

Look, we all know how hard it is for us to - I'm going to speak for myself - find a still photo of yourself that you like. Like how many times do people send photos and you're like, "Oh burn it."

One of the advantages of shooting digitally was that we had a lot of time. When you shoot, even if you do a good performance, it may get lost in the editing room. It's just one more way that a potentially good film might go astray.

One of the great things about...

One of the great things about film is that, typically anything that's introduced in the first five minutes, the audiences will by into.

I feel honored to be a part of something that provided people with entertainment and that inspired conversations. I feel very, very fortunate.

I can be a bit of a science geek. I tend more towards reading about brain science, neuroscience. I was an English major, so I love discussing possibilities and alternate theories. Aside from the science aspect of it, the philosophical possibilities are so interesting.

I love classical music and often listen to symphonies or opera in the morning.

I've made a number of independent films that didn't receive theatrical distribution, that a lot of people haven't heard of, and as a result, I've conditioned myself to go into small independent films with the expectation that they will not, and therefore, I have to find my reward elsewhere.

I would not call myself Catholic anymore, but I went to 16 years of Catholic school: grade school, high school and college.

If you think about filmmaking...

If you think about filmmaking as an entire spectrum, starting with the writer and ending with maybe the marketing department, the actor's contribution is a rather slender band.

I can be a bit of a science geek. I tend more towards reading about brain science, neuroscience.

William Mapother 32 quotes

I worked in script development, many years ago, and read a lot of scripts. Between that and the scripts I've read as an actor, and I'm a writer as well, I think I have a pretty good sense about whether the bones of a story are there and whether the structure is intact.
