I lived in Dallas, and it's a big city, but you can jump on any freeway and drive in any direction for about 30 minutes and you are in the country - open space, wide open, very open, nothin' around.

Luckily for me, when I was growing up in high school, I had a band, and I was a singer in the band. I'm less of a legit Broadway singer than I am a pop-rock singer.

I grew up in Texas in a family that fished and hunted, so I've shot guns as a kid.

My first soldier role was in 'Flags of Our Fathers.' Casting director Jay Binder saw that movie and was looking for soldiers for 'Journey's End,' which led to 'Generation Kill.'

I'm more of a strumming guitarist, instead of a lead soloist guitarist.

I started out singing in high school in the choir and in a garage band.

When you fall into a midseason slot, you have the sort of blessing of not being on television while you shoot most of your season.

I feel I'm pretty zen and laid back. I don't have a lot of rage in my real life.

A safe and nutritionally adequate diet is a basic individual right and an essential condition for sustainable development, especially in developing countries.

It is fun to be in the same decade with you.

Sales is survival, the best-prepared are most likely to survive.

To me the Olympic spirit embodies the magic of competition, hard work and coming to a point in your career when you're around the best athletes in the world, and having the whole world watching.

World don't need chiefs. We need engaged, talented leaders.

I would bet there is no place in the United States where the First Amendment would survive intact.

Surround yourself with people who are doers!
