Why focus on what somebody might think? Nobody talks [on TV] like people really talk most of the time.

It's never good to just imitate somebody. That never works, because then you're not filling it with anything.

In general, I did what a lot of character actors do: I did it to get girls.

I grew up as a very sarcastic person. I was always the class clown, and to date girls I had to be really funny. I was really skinny growing up.

I guess show business is a lot like baseball: "Wait until next year!" You just never know. Some of the shittiest shows I've ever seen run forever, and some of the best things never get a chance.

I was so thin, I had to run around in the shower to get wet. That kind of thin.

If I had not lived the life I had lived and did not have the wife I have and the children I have, I would never know how to play that role [of Dr. Bedsloe], and I wouldn't have any of those qualities. It's a real example of how it is true that the camera catches everything. Even the stuff you're trying to hide.
