I'm never one to compare shows to shows.

I'm doing a very funny show in which we talk about issues. I speak at Aids charities and things. It's great to do something fun with our days and yet we're told we're doing something important.

I remember I had scenes with Melinda McGraw in "Ides Of March" that I didn't have in "Video Vigilante," but I can't quite picture that other character. But it was Vancouver, and that year was crazy

As a television actor, there's a power you're given to use your image to do something valuable. As a parent, these messages are particularly important to me.

The Andromeda strain is a killer disease that they've got to prevent from spreading to being 100 percent contagious. It's another one where we're racing to save humanity.

My most romantic job: I was a manager at Baskin-Robbins.

When I read the script for Will & Grace in 1998, I knew I was the only guy for the part.

I always get a little uppity when I hear the phrase 'TV actor.' It's like saying you're a magazine reporter. I was in the theater for ten years before I ever had a TV audition.

I was raised on 'Get Smart' and 'All in the Family' and 'M.A.S.H.,' and certainly when 'Cheers' came along, that was a big one.

I think we all realize that anyone can - and has - gotten AIDS. So there's obviously still a lot to be done.

The thing you realize pretty quickly, though, is that being in front of an audience whose job it is to laugh is a big pressure if the writing is not hilarious.

People love mystery, and that is why they love my paintings.

Sometimes, unexpected things can happen.

Their love was like a prison, and I the willing inmate.

I'm not going to be lectured to.

Testing children until they cry is a bad idea. It is an educational malpractice.

My idea at this time, which was slowly developing, was to create a comedie humaine with little people, average people - samples from every period in American life.

I think it was the right time for me to retire because nowadays tennis is too incredibly fast and you can say that my style tennis went out of fashion.

That's one of the things I like about Mary Lou. She's willing to believe the worst about anyone.

I am confident that many people will find the New Testament alive in a new way after reading The Message.

But the need for conflict to expose prejudice and unclear reasoning, which is deeply embedded in my philosophy of science, has its origin in these debates.
