Ian Somerhalder

- I have a million acquaintances but just two or three true friends. I can't hide anything from them.

- I never wanted to be one of those actors with a political agenda.

- I don't care how hot a girl is - if she doesn't like animals, it would be a major, major problem.

- A lot of things that happen in the world make me a bit crazy.

- As an actor, you always think that whatever job you have is going to be your last. In some way, shape or form, you think you're going to screw it up and you're never going to work again.

- Every love story needs a catalyst of some sort.

- I kind of think too much, I try do too many things at once.

- Maybe one of the only things I do well: I cook like a maniac! I would be a chef if I weren't an actor.

- I don't know how to do anything else other than be an actor. If I wasn't in this, I would be in alternative energy and conservation.

- They say the way to a man's heart is through his stomach. It's the same way with women... or at least the ones I want to be with.

- We're made up of energy, so who's to say you can't transmit through electrical means? If you could transmit yourself wirelessly, then it's Armageddon pretty much.

- Acting is such a huge part of my life. It really allows me to have a creative outlet and to actually be able to have an outlet to discuss openly the things that truly I think are relevant in the world, that make a difference.

- I appreciate the response and the support of fans, of people who actually don't mind watching me on screen... I just don't ever want to jeopardize that.

- I grew up as a country boy.

- I just want to make it clear that I have been working since I was ten years old.

- I'm not a negative person.

- It's so great to show up at work and truly enjoy every word you say.

- No one knows what women want!

- Species conversation is beyond a doubt an issue that truly matters to the American public.

- The coming together of like-minded individuals through action is what's needed to see wide spread change for us, our planet and its creatures.

- The most underused, under-appreciated group of people in the world is our youth.

- What we're doing to the planet is inexcusable.

- I'm never running for office. I love being able to speak to members of Congress or members of the Senate and floating on either side, because it takes all of us. It's going to take both of them.

- Kids are meeting in coffee shops and basements figuring out what's unsustainable in their communities. That's the future.

- Love is tested in so many ways. How do I articulate this? Two people are together. There are stakes, strife, struggles, all these things that make us fall for someone, love someone even more, leave someone.

- Oceans are one of the most important things in the world now and that is a national security threat of the United States of America, to be honest with you. That is why seeing the habitat destroyed is so short-sighted by us.

- The film business creates a large amount of waste, and I'm not immune to waste in the business.

- When you're really close to someone, they can make fun of you a lot and get away with it. But they sort of poke you in all of the right places.

- You can't get anywhere without the people who have come into your life.
