I have expanded my mind and destroyed my liver but I didn't give up.

I think people are surprised when I string two sentences together. But I had a fiercely academic upbringing.

Still when I go on talk shows, I worry that I have to live up to a comedic persona.

I eat stickers all the time dude!

Knowing that I'm not a model and I'm never going to be has relieved me of the pressure of looking good. If you don't establish yourself as McDreamy then you don't have to live up to it.

It is not elegant to gnaw Indian corn. The kernels should be scored with a knife, scraped off into the plate, and then eaten with a fork. Ladies should be particularly careful how they manage so ticklish a dainty, lest the exhibition rub off a little desirable romance.

In my theater days I assumed that you had to get rid of yourself to do a character well, and I don’t think I was a very good actor when I did that.
