I love the stage. It's terrifying in a way that film and television is not. When you're about to go out, and you're adrenaline just gets out of control, and that can be really daunting.

With correction, and given the chance, 'Terra Nova' can and will deliver seasons of transcendent images and story-telling. 'Terra Nova' is the Hubble Telescope of television.

I loved Laurel and Hardy and TV shows like 'Robin Hood' and 'Rama of the Jungle'.

I've played the clarinet since I was a kid. I love to sing, but I'm not much of a singer. Let's say that when it comes to vocalizing, I have the soul of Billy Bigelow but the voice of Jigger Cragan.

I am very fond of the people, landscape, poetry, music, history and the Guinness. Being there makes me think of my mother and my grandmother - always sentimental and warm thoughts.

I don't think there is a role that I did twenty years ago that I couldn't do better now.

I don't believe that being against the war can be equated with being non-supportive of our troops.

My job, professionally, is tapping into stuff. We've all got it. But, I just am fortunate enough that, beyond the age of 11, it's what I do professionally.

Your primary tools, as an actor, are observation and imagination. You can pretty much get everything you need from that, and you do. It brings back that element of pretend.

Acting can be a very reactive profession. Acting is a fantastic thing, and it's my life, but writing is also part of me too, so I did it and in so doing took responsibility for my own life.

My writing is how I maintain.

I have no idea where the concept came from that America is an explicitly atheist country. I can't find it in the Constitution, and I don't like it being shoved down my throat.

If a white man falls off a chair drunk, it's just a drunk. If a Negro does, it's the whole damn Negro race.

I take it as a given that God's knowledge of the Cerebus storyline dwarfs my own as God's knowledge of everything dwarfs my own.

Remember, we're competing in a rigged election [2016]. This is a rigged election, folks.

You have to want something or you're finished.

I feel very fortunate to have broken in with the Milwaukee Braves organization.

I'm always down for a Spice Girls reunion. I love the Scary hair and platforms. Any time of day or night I'll be there.

I get some letters from girls that if their mothers knew what they were writing me in these letters, they'd get their butts whipped.

The teenage female has less demand to perform and more resources to attract love. Her body and mind are more genetic gifts.
