What we are as actors, for better and for worse, is visible.
athletes bunch good kids sports
My kids are good athletes and runners. They run in a bunch of sports.
running
My favorite thing about running is running when it's as hot as it can be, which is a little odd.
energy feeling looking people spend time
My feeling is that the networks, they have a lot of people that spend a lot of time and energy looking at the Nielsen ratings.
clear hardest issues
One of the hardest things to do is to be present and open and clear about who you are and what you stand for. We all have issues with that.
My daughter, when she was younger, was crazy about 'The X-Files,' so I'd watch that with her.
amount composed considered life people worked
I've composed a fair amount in my life, and some of them have made it on to the screen, some compositions that I've done, a few. And I like doing that. I had never really considered doing a full-length thing. I've worked with other people creating full-length pieces.
phenomenal
These sci-fi fans are phenomenal in the standards that they hold you to.
allowed certain demands gave helped huge nature notoriety opportunity people perceive planet role success versatile wide work
'Quantum Leap' gave me a huge opportunity as an actor. The nature of the role and it's demands allowed people to perceive me as a versatile actor, and the wide success of the show around the planet gave me a certain notoriety that helped me get other work.
park shoot shot
I've shot a lot of places, and I've produced. I always thought, 'Gosh, when you shoot in a big city, it's so difficult.' And New York, I always think, 'Where are you going to park the trucks? How are you going to stop the traffic?'
I've always been told I had an old face. So when I was in my 20s, I never got to play a teenager.
movies pole tent
The movies are about big tent pole movies and big action and effects.
direct extremely incredibly
Clive Barker is just genius, and he's incredibly gifted in so many different ways. He can write and direct and paint and do all these different things, and he can do them all extremely well.
