So I was hugely thrilled that my first scene ever on camera was with Hal Holbrook.

There's really no point in having children if you're not going to be home enough to father them.

My family had all kinds of complications in relationships. I would like to meet the person who did not. Since when is being absolutely perfect what being a human is? What do we gain from that?

Be what you are. Don't change yourself for anything. God made you that way for a reason.

I didn't start jogging or running until I was 37 years old. It was something that really helped me change my life.

I love being a part of something that is grassroots, and you can see the actual changes, the effect of what people do.

It's difficult to keep that perspective, I think, as a parent: to know your boundaries as to what's good parenting or just projecting your own expectations on your kids. That's the hardest.

To be a good actor you really have to want to act first.

I was spoiled by theater, where there is no editor.

You know, you never say never because before I did 'ER,' I always said 'I'll never do a TV series,' so that's what I said.

Here we are, Arms in arms, Hearts to heartsWaiting in a haunted stop, For the sky to fall, When the world ends to a knot, We will rise into one.

All of life like a series of tableaux, and in the living we missed so much, hid so much, left so much undone and unsaid.

My intention... isn't to create controversy.

Tuvalu's future at current levels of global warming is already bleak. Any further temperature increase will spell its total demise.

A good indication that it's not is if you're only staying with What's His Name because you're scared.

Truth-tellers are not always palatable. There is a preference for candy bars.

Simple duty hath no place for fear.

I think love is one that can definitely make you go crazy, and it's almost like love can induce mental illness in a lot of people, or bring it out worse. It makes people make crazy decisions.

You have to understand, in this fight, the physical condition and technical preparation are not as important as character and will. The one who's willing to go until the end will win the match.

Thanks to decades of accumulated federal budget deficits and, more significantly, imprudent Medicare and Social Security policies, we've stolen almost $60 trillion from our children.
