I made Lost World in September of '91, and by the end of that year, I was living in Toronto.

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.

Life always has some surprises up its sleeve!

You can face fear, or feel it, her dad used to say. … Feel it, and it eats you alive. Face it, and you get to kick some ugly alien butt. Okay, he never said that. I wonder if they even have butts.

Achieving the right balance is all part of programming a news magazine.

I can't begin to tell you how fulfilling the perennial nature of 'Elf' on television has been for me. It's great to be able to connect parents with children both emotionally and through humor.

A youth of frolic, an old age of cards.

Work done with little effort is likely to yield little result.

The best way to divulge a secret is to tell someone not to say anything about it.

The trouble in corporate America is that too many people with too much power live in a box (their home), then travel the same road every day to another box (their office).

For a while, it was something to try to push at people, playing old murder ballads and being upset about everything I was seeing around me. But now I feel a lot more at peace with it.

Not to gain time, but maybe to lose it, to see it pass.
