Actor

As a Christian, we always fail because we can't become Christ. But I can try to at least emulate the best qualities, even if I may fall short.

I love to sit down and have my drink in the afternoon. It's so lovely if there's no noise, no calamities, no children that have to be attended to.

'A Passage To India' by E. M. Forster - It opened my mind to a world I'd never known before.

I got fired when I was a dishwasher at Denny's. That set me back a little bit. You don't realize how important dishwashers are until you do the job.

All of the great music ever written is based upon the Mass. I mean, it's pretty extraordinary stuff, and I think it's done the world some good. And if you take a look at some of the mosques in the world, it calls you to worship the kind of beauty that's in there.

Prayer is when you talk to God. Meditation is when you're listening. Playing the piano allows you to do both at the same time.

I'm a walk-on guy. When the director says, 'Action,' I'm on.

I had a kind of romantic notion about being a Hollywood Errol Flynn type. Honestly, I did not get into a lot of bar brawls - but I was always willing to. About the only thing missing from my story is that I haven't had a full knock-down fight in the middle of the Polo Lounge.

I miss her in my bones. I was her big brother. I was supposed to protect her - I could not... It very nearly destroyed me.

Apologizes are pointless, regrets come too late. What matters is you can move, on you can grow.

I thought 'Back To You' was a good show. The writers' strike really kind of put an end to that, though, honestly. There were a couple of factors involved, but to start a show and then to have it disappear and not come back for that long... it's just bad form.

In camp when I was eight - a bunch of kids threw me outside naked. I got 'em back!

You have to know you are in a comedy. You have to know that you are actually allowing the audience to participate on some level. When you go dark and mean it, then you don't let them in.

I want to speak seventeen languages. When you think like that, you'll be consumed by failure. I'm haunted daily by what I don't know.

I have always been a risk taker.

I don't tend to warm too well to people that tell me how I'm supposed to think. So, my life in Hollywood - I'm afraid I was destined to be a Republican.

I like audiences and performing and, you know... applause!

There's almost nothing better than a baguette and a pound of salami.

Life is supposed to get tough.

It takes me a while to figure things out. I usually have to repeat a lesson or two - maybe three times!
