There's certain things that you can do on cable that you can't do here on network TV, so then you have to think outside the box a little bit.

My dad said to me growing up: 'When all is said and done, if you can count all your true friends on one hand, you're a lucky man.'

I never considered a career in broadcasting, not even as a kid.

It's fun to play a character who lives on the edge, who is an ethical and moral mess, and is paying the price for some of his actions.

I am a lefty, though I bat right-handed... When I was a kid I pitched, played first, outfield and shortstop as well. Now it's mainly softball with some friends.

My job is to play many different roles with all sorts of different backgrounds and orientations.

I don't have a grand master plan, but I try to be thoughtful when I can and also silly. It's part of the fun.
