If you live a life of make-believe, your life isn't worth anything until you do something that does challenge your reality. And to me, sailing the open ocean is a real challenge, because it's life or death.

Anyone who spends a significant amount of time with me finds me disagreeable.

I like the blues a lot. I grew up on it.

I'm not digging tunnels, I'm not building buildings. My work is not hard, my work is refreshing, my work is pleasant. The more the better. Lying around and getting no job is debilitating.

And finding the hat, I always like to find the hat. And then props just dress the set. It's all fabulous.

It [love about acting] is all about role playing - the same thing you do when you're a kid, when you play with dolls or toys and make up stories. I never grew out of it.

Is listening important? I can't think of a single walk of life where it wouldn't be.
