Josh Holloway

I go to sleep before 10 on a Saturday night.

I was an athlete, but I hung out with the band guys. I was adaptable.

I have three brothers; we've been playing James Bond forever.

It's the oldest story in human existence. We've colonized someone or been colonized throughout human history. It's amazing how fast we comply and try to get a life out of that.

I like a woman who's not afraid to be sweet.

I'm completely in love with my children, and I participate in their lives on every level.

I'm a really good dad.

I love mysteries - just in an old school way.

I like to shoot from the hip.

I was doing a lot of boxing through 'Lost,' thrashing a bag at least three days a week. If I had shirtless scenes, I'd do it six days a week.

I love food. I love drink. I love that social thing.

All my brothers were skinny with a gut. Bone-thin with a bit of a pooch. That's what I fight against.

I don't like facial hair.

As an actor, it seems like we're always trying to get a job, so when you actually have a job, it's just amazing to get to work on your art on a daily basis and do what you love.

Tom Cruise is just a machine. He really raises the bar as far as being a stud goes.

My father's a fanatic for national parks, and every childhood trip was pretty much to national parks.

At 18, I took a Greyhound bus to New York City, and then I was in city after city, so I was just dying to get to the country. Everywhere I'd go, I'd just shoot out to a national park somewhere and reconnect.

Working in TV, we're in people's living rooms, and everyone has a different relationship to it than with movies. You're there every week; they feel like they know you. They call you by name, and it trips you up.

I could completely do without the fame. It makes me self-conscious. It is a responsibility. I believe that if people look up to you in any way, especially kids, then you have a responsibility to inspire them, both in your work and in your life. So, for me, that is a weight.

As an actor, to be able to experiment and grow and be pushed, it's been phenomenal for me, and it's given me confidence to move forward.
