I'm one of the lucky actors in television. I don't make a lot of big waves, but there's constant activity, and that's the way I prefer to live my life.

Good luck happens to people who work hard for it. Sometimes people just fall into the honey pot, but I've consistently strived to create whatever good fortune I can get in my life - and consistently strive just as hard not to screw it up once I have it!

I feel that marrying younger and being quite a young dad helped me with the stability of my career.

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.

Dancers are a work of art - they are the canvas on which their work is painted.

There's nothing I like more than picking fresh vegetables then putting them in the dinner you make that night.

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