Steve Zahn and I like to go to dinner, and we love to go to Chef Donald Link's Herb Saint.

Pilot season tends to be grueling, because you can be thrown all of these auditions at once - last-minute, always - and you're going on three a day, especially back in the day.

When you're guest-starring on another show, it really requires you to jump through hoops in a way, because you're servicing the stories of the main characters. You have to be able to portray a lot of different elements. You show up and get on board and get on their journey; you have to be flexible as to what they need for the role.

I don't like all of the contemporary country. I like some of it, but I'm mostly into the traditional style.

I started out in New York, and New York has a way of countering a Southern accent, naturally; when I moved to Los Angeles for a job, and I just stayed, the dialect out here doesn't really counter, and my Southern started coming back.

If you went to school in Nashville, you were aware of all those '60s rockabilly people.
