I really wish I could sing so I could front a band, because that would be a dream come true, totally. I want to sing. Can't do it though.
I wasn't willing to be a victim. I only wanted to survive, and I only wanted to get through.
I can keep my head together in a crisis.
I miss THE WALLFLOWERS. Great band. Wrote my first Fan letter to them. No response.
My heart is in television, just because it's been so good to me.
Let me tell you, hitting 40 is not fun.
I don't think I've ever really pursued telling my story, but I think things come to you at the right time.
So, I'm happy to do that because it's a wonderful working relationship but I will be going out for pilot season for half hour work and that's the gamble I'm taking.
When movie people go over into television, it's a little bit of a shock. It's much faster-paced. Everything is really last-minute. You won't know your schedule for the next episode until the last minute.
Most of the time I meet my trainer at the gym and we do a lot of everything: weights circuit with cardio, football drills, sprinting with weights on the treadmill.
I had been warned not to get on a motorcycle, sort of. I think there is a clause in most general basic contracts to keep yourself in one piece and not alter your looks without telling them first.
I don't mind playing the same character, but if it's not well done, then I'm not interested.
I think essentially the meaning of life is probably the journey and not really any one thing or an outcome or a result. I think it's kinda the process and I think that if you can find happiness in the process then maybe that's it.
There are so many heroes just walking around in everyday life. It blows me away.
