What I realized was how difficult an hour show is and how miserable you can be if you're not happy doing it.

Theatre demands different muscles and different aspects of one's personality.

I believe that acting in any medium is the same thing, it's discovering the truth in where you are.

It's disgusting that a Broadway show can't try out anymore, that no matter where they are in the world, there is this massive dialogue going on between people damning or praising it.

The most sinister aspect of Jack is his detachment, his ability to distance himself from his feelings.

I find that everything I do is demanding, like Jack Bristow is a complicated man and I do a lot of explaining in the show, it takes a lot of energy and concentration.

The hardest thing for me is not to keep laughing. Jennifer particularly is like a clown.

In our show you have to pay attention and know what happened before. I think it's very intelligent entertainment. It makes demands of viewers that a lot of shows don't.

Thank goodness I started getting movie roles and then television shows came along. So I was very fortunate to be able to do all three and I like all of them.

If you were to come to the set of Alias, you'd know how silly we all are. And I mean, silly.

I've been amazed that it's so popular with people. But it's been fantastic. People are very excited when I walk into a place and they recognize me from the series.

Observe & accept what ever arises & know that everything is as it needs to be.

After all these years, I feel so free. Who knows where I might fly?

I hope and assume that every good comedy writer, no matter the age, has a moment where they discover how great Cheers is.

In show business, if you make a mistake, you can do it over again.

Just before you break through the sound barrier, the cockpit shakes the most.

Art cannot change the world, but it can contribute to changing the consciousness and drives of the men and women who could change the world.

I look at the calendar. If it's a nice place, I go, like I did in London when it came to choosing to do a film. I always choose the best locations. New Orleans. That's fun. I'm available. Let's go.

My mom fed us a million balls. Dad took us to tournaments. Couldn't have done it without them. We had a happy tennis family.

Have you ever gotten the feeling that you aren't completely embarassed yet, but you glimpse tomorrow's embarrassment?

I think I've paid my dues. I've really put in a lot of time on set.
