That was the aura of Cheers: It was special. It was more than TV; you could get people to guest on the show you couldn't normally get.

People make snap judgments about me that are frequently misguided.

I don't see myself as a diva at all.

I'm not a performer who will come on stage and tell you everything about my life. It's just not who I am.

I made jokes about kissing Murphy Brown. But if that's what cost me my job, my wife will probably say, "Hey asshole, I told you so".

I missed New York. Every break I had from the series, I'd fly back to the East Coast just to get back onstage.

I know when I'm bad, I know when I'm good, and I know when I'm everything in between. I don't have any delusions of grandeur or delusions of failure. In terms of my work, I've got a pretty cold honest eye.
