People get real comfortable with their features. Nobody gets comfortable with their hair. Hair trauma. It's the universal thing.

I'm a disciplinarian. I'm the tough love pet owner. I believe in very well-behaved animals.

Being an actor, you are recognized for being somebody else, whereas these books are distilled from me.

I try to go to the gym three times a week. And I have to watch what I eat. I'm a normal person.

We sit at our consoles and play "Gears of War", but we don't see images from war. We don't turn on the news and see the evidence of war, the result of war. Maybe twice a year, Memorial Day, Veterans Day, we'll go out, we'll hang our flags, we'll try to inculcate in our children some sense of national honor for the fallen. But really, we don't see it. We just don't see the pictures. There's no drive-by on the freeway of death up close. So we don't really see bravery.
