As an actor, you don't have much choice about your appearance. It's a good excuse for looking ridiculous.

I think if you're an actor you kind of have to be willing to look stupid.

Let's face facts, this is visual medium, there's a very high premium put on people who are good-looking. But the minute you rely on that you get yourself in trouble. You certainly don't make a career out of that anymore as an actor.

I'm an actor; I'm vain - you want to look good.

As an actor, you have to understand how you are seen and then play with that. Otherwise, my looks are not important.

When you're an actor you don't really know what you have to do until you see what you look like.

How you look is part of what acting is, but the way I look at it, every actor is a character actor. Someone once told me at a casting, 'You're a character actor in a leading man's body,' and I can live with that.

I don't know what it is about me that gets cast in specific roles. Some people would say, 'You're just a pretty face,' but on 'Battlestar,' I'm not looking pretty every day. I'm pretty banged up.

I don't get acting jobs because of my looks.

As an actor, you can certainly, at any moment and at any time, discover 400 people who think you're stupid, fat and ugly.
