On being Dan: "I think what's interesting about Dan Scott as a character is that he is dangerous. I think that is sexy.

On his inner child: "I fully embrace not taking myself seriously. I am a big kid. I throw huge parties. Ask anybody. I love to play - a lot."

On his TV bro: "Keith and Dan will never come to terms with their problems thanks to the mass manipulation that I am always pulling, but I gotta tell you, my character has a very good reason for what he is doing. That's all going to come out this year."

On his co-stars: "Sophia has had the most wardrobe changes. In terms of inner change? Which I am sure is what you really want to know, the person who's gone through the most changes, is Chad Michael Money. He is the dog!"

On being single: "My dream date would have to be Christiana Amanpour from CNN. She is so smart and so beautiful. I think a weekend away with her in some war torn resort would be incredible."

My most bizarre acting job: "I am a sucker for 7th Heaven. I did the show years ago. I played a priest with diabetes. At the end of the episode I got a pet ferret. Yes, I do think that that is the most bizarre moment in my acting career."
