Bones Star David Boreanaz Does DRAFT Magazine

While he's not insanely well known, the show Bones has a loyal following and man is David Boreanaz CUTE.  So I thought I'd post this interview he did with Draft Magazine. The quotes are interesting and so random!  David talked about everything from the drinking age to directing an episode of Bones to Abe Lincoln!

On people who think the drinking age should be lowered to 18:

"It's a fine line and a slippery slope.  You can sign up for the draft when you're 18, so are you responsible enough to be drinking at that age?  I think what happens is you fall into the trap of drinking and driving, and people think 21 is a more responsible age; more deaths will occur on the road with younger people drinking and driving.  I don't really weigh in on one specific spot on that question.  It's a very hot button issue right now.  I don't think it's going to change, though; it will always be a strict 21 rule.  Being a parent now, I tend to lean more towards the 21 age."

On directing an episode of Bones:

"I just enjoy being both in front of and behind the camera, producing, directing.  I love the whole process of it.  I'm an avid photographer as a hobby; I have a lot of old cameras and like to collect certain types of cameras.  It's something I enjoy and obviously, now with a child, I'm always taking pictures.  I've directed before so it's just something fun and challenging.  I don't think consciously 'Oh, this is where my career is going.'  I just kind of do it.  One would be foolish not to take the opportunity of being fortunate enough to be on a show first of all, and then to be around and learn from that so you can expand yourself."

On pondering what he's thankful for:

"I do it all the time.  I don't necessarily wait until the holidays.  I think it happens on a daily basis.  I wake up, and I'm thankful that I'm blessed with a beautiful child, a great wife, and the ability to enjoy the freedom of walking out the door and petting my dog.  People take all that for granted – just getting up and brushing your teeth.  I value all this day in and day out, not just during the holidays."

On what historical figure he would have liked to meet:

"Abraham Lincoln.  I'd like to know about his values and how he felt about the unification of the country and world.  And I'd like to ask him 'How do you get through doorways?'  He was pretty tall.  I'm in awe of him."

Three words to describe himself:

Tempestous, gregarious, and artist.

The full interview will be in Draft Magazine for their Nov/Dec issue.
