I'm the youngest of five kids, and I wanted attention. And in Santa Barbara, there was lots of theater going on, so for that area, it was a little bit like playing Little League baseball. There were dance classes, theater classes, and I just loved it.

I just spent a lot of time on 'ER' for that eight years. I also started working when I was 16, so by the time I left 'ER,' I was 40 years old, I had this incredible experience, my wife had this great company, we had four kids, it was like, 'Let's go to New York and live for a while and make that the priority.'

To be a good actor you really have to want to act first.

I didn't start jogging or running until I was 37 years old. It was something that really helped me change my life.

I had this thing about hanging out in dark theaters. My family thought I grew out of a rock.

You've got to make the most of where you are. Then, when you're somewhere else, you've got to have the ability to fulfill that.

I was spoiled by theater, where there is no editor.
