One way I differ from my character, Coach Taylor, is that I never would have taken this faraway job without my wife's consent.

Opportunity does not knock, it presents itself when you beat down the door.

Oh, man, if in real life I was as cool and suave as Coach Taylor and had all the answers, things would be easier.

I was never upset that I did not get an Emmy. That I did get an Emmy nomination, I couldn't be happier and prouder.

What I do is not rocket science, but I sure do love it.

I do like to cook; I'm sort of a mad scientist in the kitchen.

Everyone's a little nervous when you all get together and meet the actors, meet the director. But once you get on set, then it's like a sport. You're playing a game, everyone's equal and that's where it's fun.
