baseball boys years
Baseball should be the only thing on an eight year old boy's mind.
phones used rings
There will come a day when the phone doesn't ring as much as it used to.
great-things parting
I don't get any parts I don't get offered. There are lots of great things out there I would like to do that I don't get offered.
moving athlete character
My thing about looking good is that it should be the character. If I'm playing a character who's concerned about his body - an athlete, say - I'll get in shape. If I'm playing a character who doesn't or wouldn't, I don't. I almost never get in shape for a movie, even though I know it would be a good career move.
tvs these-days
There's certainly more work for me in TV these days.
cities guy woods
I'm not a city kind of guy. I'm happiest when I'm tromping through the woods.
pants short-pants auras
I'd wear clogs, short pants and ladies' bracelets. I created this aura for myself.
girl house sneak
I'd sneak out of the house to meet girls at 3:30 a.m.
thinking acting let-me
I think my being such a nomad let me into acting. I was always having to create a new image whenever we moved.
school mean energy
I would love, more than anything, to do an out-and-out farce with huge physical energy. Just because you're from the minimalist school, it doesn't mean you can't go big.
laughing
Make them laugh, and then make them listen.
thinking people my-family
I think there's a down-to-earthness with Midwesterners and with people from the Midlands - which is where my family is from - in Ireland.
nice levels tables
I like the level of fame that I have. You get nice tables in restaurants sometimes, but fame isn't something that I find comfortable.
interesting roles
I get to do interesting roles and make a living.
