My parents saw their job of parenting as their most important role in life, and I aim to aspire to that.

I dispute the idea that we turn into our parents. These children who have come into my life are unique beings. I don't think I am teaching my children anything, frankly. I think they are teaching me.

I wasn't a great student. My brother is 18 months older than me, so he sort of forged the way for me at school.

Guilt is never very far from Rick Grimes' shoulder. It comes with the package. He's a man who takes his responsibilities very heavily, not lightly.

The thing that I love about Rick Grimes is that he pulls himself off the canvas even when he has been pummeled to the ground so many times. And either he gets up by himself - he drags himself up - or he is helped up by loved ones around him.

There's a whole generation in England who think I'm American, thanks to 'The Walking Dead.' It's an interesting phenomenon of being an actor longer than 25 years because you can tell what people know you from.

That's what I always hoped for when I became an actor - that you would do something that people can escape to, find identification with and excitement in and be able to talk about it in bars, restaurants, and workplaces.

If a fantasy, if a story can help you feel something, I think that's really cool.

I love acting. I just love it. It's in my bones.

Changing diapers is one of the most leveling things that has ever happened to me.
