Never for a second did I think of myself as the sexiest guy in the world. When I was a kid, I thought I was the strongest man in the world. Then, the fastest runner and then the smartest person in the world. One by one my delusions got shut down. Now I just see myself as the lamest guy in the world.
It was really difficult to get any golf matches because everybody was already booked up.
I'd rather be the king of kids, than the prince of fools.
I'm an aspiring writer. I hate that phrase. You're either a writer or you're not.
You're not hardcore, unless you live hardcore

Push-ups, sit-ups, and a strict diet of raisins. That's my plan.

It's a tough transition really for theater actors to adjust to television or film, and all of these years later, I still have a tendency to play it too big.
