MATT BOMER

I don't care about the size of the roles, or how they're marketed or billed or anything like that. I would love to be a part of stories that tell us about where we've come from, where we are, where we're going - with great directors.

Unfortunately, in some parts of the country, some kids are taught at an early age that being different is somehow bad or wrong or worthy of ridicule.

Cote de Pablo is one of my best friends! We went to college together.

My standard uniform is a T-shirt and jeans.

Kids aren't born to be bullies, they're taught to be bullies.

I have, like, three suits to my name. But one thing I've learned is that when you dress up in real life, people treat you differently.

I think every guy and girl would love to get to play Superman at some point in their life.

I'm completely happy and fulfilled in my personal life.

I consider 'White Collar' my home base. I'm so lucky to get to play a character that's very multifaceted and the writers take risks on and never get into a staid process with.

Look, none of the artists who I admire or respect have ever shied away from a role because it might make them unpopular with somebody.

I want to work with anyone who's passionate about telling a story. I obviously have a list of people I really love, but it's a really long list.

I'm from a very athletic family, and I thoroughly enjoyed sports as a kid, but acting was a way of expressing myself and having fun. It was something I found on my own.

I've definitely had crazy acting teachers.

To be honest with you, my physical state is usually dictated by the project I'm working on at a given time.

I can safely say that I had an incredibly difficult and trying past growing up and trying to be an artist and standing up as who I am in this world.

New York City is one of the greatest places on the planet. You have the best in food, art, theatre, and definitely people-watching.

I think if you start to think too much about things that are completely out of control, it will just drive you crazy as an actor.

When I was in high school, there was no safe haven, there was no outlet for you to speak your mind.

If you're wearing suits and you want to create your own sense of style, get to the tailor.

I really just try to focus on my job, which is to be an actor, and outside that, the cards fall where they may, and on not getting caught up in how people react to certain things. That's a death trap creatively.

I pretty much got busted for everything, but I definitely stretched out my boundaries as a kid, as well.

As actors you're always going to take certain roles that are in your comfort zone and take ones that aren't.

I don't know anybody who walks through life all the time in the doldrums, constantly serious and morose. But that's become what we generalize as drama.

There's always a need for new superheroes. As society changes, the types of superheroes will probably change as well.

I'm a kid that went to theater school. I thought I was going to be making my living doing plays regionally or in New York or on Broadway, and maybe if I got lucky I would do a movie here or there.
