I really loved my dad. I was very, very close to my dad. He - you know, he was very, very nervous about my being an actor.

When I got this role, my daughter Molly said, 'Dad, you've come full circle.

The Emmy should be an ensemble award, too. I kept howling at everyone else's performances.

This whole thing about winning and losing is muddy waters. But I can remember, as a young actor, just walking around this city and not being able to get arrested.
