I learned long ago to focus on things you can control and don't even pay attention to things you don't.

With craziness, you can't predict it. There's very little defense you can have on craziness.

How do we get from electrons to elections and from protons to presidents?

Performance-enhancing drugs are an illusion. I wish I had never gotten involved with steroids. It was wrong. It was stupid.

I used to need the character but as I've gotten older I need it less and less - I prefer to play some version of myself. To approach any acting job as me just being me.
