Then when I got to Hollywood, the first musical I did was Festival in 1977.

So I got interested in singing and I have always used my voice. Not professionally as much, but around the living room, the campfire, that kind of thing.

Suddenly Star Wars came out while we were on hiatus, and we looked like the old Buck Rogers series, where they had cigarette smoke blowing out the back of the rocket ship.

I got a series with the WB next year. We start shooting in July. It's going to be called Safe Harbor, and it's an hour show. It's a Spelling show and will follow 7th Heaven.

The best aunts aren't substitute parents, they're co-conspirators.

I learned to play guitar at a young age and converted poems and stuff that I had written to songs.

I directed an episode of Touched by an Angel a couple of months ago, and I will be doing more of that. I just like to keep a bit of variety going; it keeps things interesting.

I have to own something before I can say it, and I have to own it before I can sing it as well, emotionally. I only enjoy acting and singing if I am believing what I am doing.

What I ended up doing was becoming an actor who didn't mind doing other people's words.

But I always held my music up and protected it from compromise. So I just do it for my friends. I've written hundreds of songs, and I'm sure I have a few albums worth of songs.

Invest your life into what you were born to do. Make every minute of your life count. Redeem every minute of your life and convert it into greatness.

The better the writer, the more complicated the dangler.

Every legend, moreover, contains its residuum of truth, and the root function of language is to control the universe by describing it.

The real problem of leisure time is how to keep others from using yours.

In business, you try to solve problems.

Everybody needs that one person that takes you to the right place to see all the positives in your life.

That's in the First Amendment?

There comes a moment when you know you just aren't going to do anything esle productive for the rest of the day.-T-Shirt

Pacifism, to me, is primarily a way of actively struggling against injustice and inhumanity; My kind of pacifism may be called "non-violent resistance".

The things that you know more about than you want to know are very useful.
