I work hard, so I play harder.
— Dean Winters
I think I was raised by a really good mother.
I've definitely become more aware of the penal system and more aware of what life could be like inside a prison.
On a show like 'Oz,' I was wearing Dickies and a cut-off shirt and a gold cross.
As an actor, I tend to enjoy going to the dark side.
I'm Irish, I'm from New York, and I definitely have issues.
Tina Fey is the most caring woman I've worked with in this business.
If I ever go onstage at the Oscars, you can guarantee I'll be wearing my motorcycle boots.
When there's not ten feet of snow on the ground, I ride my bike down the streets of New York, and I literally hear two things out of car windows as cabs pass by me: They either yell, 'Hey, dummy,' or 'Hey, Mayhem.'
New York being the greatest walking city in the world, I tend to walk everywhere as long as I am afforded the time.
I've been in scenes with my brother where I've been absolutely emotionally terrified to go somewhere. But because he's my brother, I feel safe.
Unfortunately, in the Hollywood way, respect comes in the form of a trophy a lot of the time.
School and I never seemed to walk hand in hand.
People are lazy, and they want their fast food via the television.
The best thing an actor can bring to a role is himself - that's no secret.
I'm not a big fan of shopping. I certainly am a fan of clothes, and especially people that put time into the construction of them.
I grew up in New York, and I've always been surrounded by fashion. My grandmother used to write for 'Vogue' in the '50s, and my mother was a dancer and a model.
I have yet to do a job where I would really get to rock the great clothes. I'd love to do a job where I could wear Thom Browne.
I tend to sleep a lot.
I never go into a scene - ever, ever, ever - thinking, I have to make myself more empathetic toward the audience. Once you start doing that, you get into really dangerous territory. I think you start to become kind of untrue to the character.
I've done a few jobs out there for the money, and I find those jobs have come back to haunt me.
I wanted to become an actor so I didn't have to put on a suit and sell insurance.
If I see one more forensics show, I'm gonna throw up.
My brother and I worked in eight bars as the brother bartenders.
I really love Paul Smith. And Chrome Hearts. They make the most beautiful, high-end leather and outerwear and jewelry you've ever seen.
I've always been drawn to stories involving brothers, which started with my first viewing of Sean Penn's, 'The Indian Runner.' This subsequently lead to my working with my two brothers, Scott & Brad. I couldn't imagine a greater gift in the business.
