I came out of repertory theater, where I worked 50 weeks a year, and I loved working with a team.

I worked with my son when he was much younger; we did L.A. Law together, where I played his father and he played a kid who was suing his father for alienation of affection or something. It was great.

At this point we've answered about every question you could possibly imagine about Deep Space Nine, so we do this thing called Theatrical Jazz, where we do a show of bits and pieces of things from plays and literature, poetry... stuff that we like. It's fun.

I just wait for something to present itself, and then I consider it.

The writers and producers always have an idea, then they cast the role and the instrument starts to tell them how to play the music.

The highest happiness is a by-product of worthy work well done.

For me, as I began to see the light at the end of the tunnel, I became aware of how on an instinctive level I made choices to cover myself.
