Having played many roles of scientific intellect I do have an empathy for that world. It's been hard on me because flying the Enterprise for seven years in Star Trek and sitting in Cerebro in X-men has led people to believe that I know what I'm talking about. But I'm still trying to work out how to operate the air conditioning unit on my car.
Let me tell you about being executive producer. It is not a job, it's a title. Don't go around asking executive producers what they do because they don't do anything, alright?
It's so easy to get used to playing a role. Then all of the sudden when you're tossed out of it, it's almost like you have to remember how to act again!
People sometimes have to be reminded, I'm not Frank Underwood. I'm an actor named Kevin Spacey.
Me as a person, I'm not the president of the NBPA (National Basketball Players Association). I don't even know what to say. I'm not like this perfect, buttoned-up, suit-and-tie guy.
I'm always cast in these strange men... that's not me, really.
I doubt if the public thought of me as Christ when they next saw me as Temple Houston on television.
It's very strange to become a character: the lines get blurred, and you start to sort of, I don't know, take it home too much?
It is impossible to differentiate between what I say in my individual capacity from what I say as President.
The entertainment thing - you're there to entertain, it's not about you - I get that, but for a while I lost my opinion.
What I did for a living for so many years separated who I was from what I did.
In my 20s, when I was acting, I probably had a little bit of a personality crisis in the sense that everybody related to me as Bruce Lee's daughter.
I just don't spend maybe enough time figuring out my place. Maybe I do in the world, but not so much in Hollywood.
There's something safe about playing a character, but then it's like, 'Who am I underneath it all?'
I'm sad for adults who want to be children. And children who want to be adults.
I'm almost like three people. There's me the, Dolly, the person. There's me, the star. And then there's me, the manager.
Things that I had created or morphed into, I almost became. I felt like a broken man having to go back to plain old Matt Hardy in many ways.
People don't want their actors acting like musicians.
I have played so many romantic roles that I don't know if I am really a romantic in real life. I get confused about the real me.
I feel like I'm a basketball player in a football uniform.
Dean is a doctor but he acts more like a postal worker!
I'm not sure what it means fully to be a parent.
It's hard on an all-gay softball team because no one knows if they want to be a pitcher or a catcher.
The problem with Danity Kane is everybody wanted to play everybody's role, and when you're in a group like that, that can't survive.
If you ask me to play myself, I will not know what to do. I do not know who or what I am.
