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

I don't want to say I'm never going to direct again, but directing's hard work.

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.

I work six months and get three or four with the family.

I just can't say enough about the actors having faith and trust in the writers and the writers having faith and trust in the actors.

My grandparents got married at a very young age, and a lot of what I think about marriage is based on their relationship.

I love playing a role where I think I'm right and then you learn you're not.
