I wanted to be an actor because it gave me the opportunity to express myself in ways I wasn't comfortable expressing myself, as a kid growing up in St. Louis.

I don't think that a company should own a studio and the network, and program for their own network. It hurts the creativity - it is not a level playing field

I've always been a big fan of time travel, and I'm very into the notion that some day we'll be able to do it. Beam me up!

A lot of people don't know that I'm a singer - that's my thing, really.

I try to get on stage whenever I can. I'm always trying to be involved in the theater, doing something on stage, whenever I have downtime. I'm always looking for it.

Ideally, people find mates with whom they can express both their masculine and feminine sides.

The guy that picked me up at the airport in 1985 when I was out in L.A. for my first audition was selling a script. I was a nobody coming off a plane to read for a new show.

I never intended to be on television or in a movie. The theater was all I ever dreamed about, once I decided to try to make it as a business profession. All this other stuff has just been icing.

Give thanks for what you are today and go on fighting for what you gone be tomorrow

Laughter and prayer are the two noblest habits of man

Morning came in through the blinds cutting everything into ribbons.

I CAN'T GO ON! I FEEL LIKE NONE OF MY EMOTIONAL WOUNDS CAN HEAL! AS SOON AS IT TRIES TO HEAL, IT SHATTERS AGAIN! I CAN'T HEAL!

A story is a wondrous invention.

You're never beaten until you admit it

To turn ordinary clothes into gardening clothes, simply mix with compost.

Not all dreamers are winners, but all winners are dreamers.

Men are more compassionate/(nobler)/magnanimous/generous than God; for men forgive their dead, but God does not.

Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.
