My life is a party thrown for me by my own decisions.

I was brought up to never lie. Sure, I have. But in the final mix, the lies I've told are far outweighed by the truths I've lived.

The first thing I thought [when I read the script] was that Frasier was an intellectual at some points but also an Everyman - flawed and very insecure.

Alexander Pope once wrote that the theater aspires to wake the soul by gentle strokes of art - to raise the genius and to mend the heart.

Prayer is when you talk to God. Meditation is when you're listening. Playing the piano allows you to do both at the same time.

No day-to-day mishaps or indignities can really compromise your sense of self after you've survived a deep tragedy.

I don't know if I'm addicted to fame; fame is more of an unpleasant circumstance of an addiction to creativity.
