I'll miss the comments from the people on the street who love the show and who have felt its impact on the culture. I won't miss the shooting schedule, though!

I'm not one of these actors who feels a pressing need to direct, and I have no plans to do it.

One of the things I had a hard time getting used to when I came to California in '78 was Santa Claus in shorts.

For lack of a better term, they've labeled me a sex symbol. It's flattering and it should happen to every bald, overweight guy.

In a perfect world, you would be able to hold onto everyone. But It's not realistic. The changes with NYPD have been progressive and have taken the show to new levels.

Our country offers such great opportunities for us all. Unfortunately, too many hard-working citizens go day to day without enough food to eat.

I consider myself fortunate that I've been able to find a character that people have responded to.
