For a couple of years, I focused more on producing because I wanted to be close to home, after traveling a lot for work.

We have dinner every single night, Monday through Friday, with our children. We sit down around 6 or 6:30 and it's a family dinner - it's time to check in, just to be around each other.

I like things to have rules, I like order and I like schedules.

There's a lot of great things to see here in the United States. Those times spent together with maps and old cups from the diner you went to, those are really important as a family.

As a father, you immediately become uncool, especially the older they get. The older you get, it's inevitable that, as cool as you think you are, you're probably just as lame in your kids' eyes.

It's really interesting, for an actor, that you can continue to do season after season and not play the same role.

It's always a good collaboration between the actor and the writer and the director to try stuff out, during the process.

My wife is so funny and talented and never lets anybody fail next to her.

As an actor, you always want to try new things, so the fact that they set it up so that you can be doing different things each season is great.

I am very traditional, and I am the disciplinarian.

There are certain projects that you love to be involved in, no matter what the capacity, and there are certain projects that I probably wouldn't even consider getting behind.

Never expect too much from the life... it will only frustrate or disappoint you.

Every man's island, Jean Louise, every man's watchman, is his conscience. There is no such thing as a collective conscience.

It's good tying the sack before it be full.

All is vanity and everybody's vain. Women are terribly vain. So are men - more so, if possible.

Young people need to be inspired, told they can achieve anything they set their minds to.

The bloodline of Jesus is thicker, deeper, stronger than the bloodline of race, ethnicity and family.

For me, it is a deep personal tragedy. I know that the world shares the sorrow that Mrs. Kennedy and her family bear. I will do my best. That is all I can do. I ask for your help - and God's.

All myths that are something more than fancies gain rather than lose in value with time, by reason of the accretions of human experience.

So next time someone complains that you have made a mistake, tell him that may be a good thing. Because without imperfection, neither you nor I would exist.

This is something essential to art: reception is never its goal. What counts for me is that my work provides material to reflect upon. Reflection is an activity.
