It's as simple as you can explain all of 'Dallas.' We're a dysfunctional family forced to stay together.

I learned to travel, then I travelled to learn.

Los Angeles is peopled by waiters and carpenters and drivers who are there to be actors.

I worked with my dad for 15 years. I apprenticed under him and decided I wanted to become an architect. So I went to college for it and then the acting bug got me.

I'm an inherently happy person. It comes from the inside, which means you can achieve happiness under any circumstance.

Cooking and eating at home is made even better by the fact that you don't have to worry about driving after a couple of bottles of very nice wine. For me that's the ideal combination: working hard and enjoying the fruits of your labour.

I come from an alcoholic Irish background - I know where I was going! But I met my wife and started to practise Buddhism, which is a levelling experience for me, and there hasn't been a day I've missed in 40 years. I apply it to everything - to my work and relationships. I try to be a compassionate person.
