The luxury of television is that you get more than one shot at who you think the guy is that you're playing.

The great thing about arriving at this age is that I don't even care about my career anymore.

I'm real comfortable around people, and it took a long time for me to evolve to that point.

I've always felt there were aspects of me that were monstrous, and you can either hide from it or confront it, embrace it and understand that those are aspects that make you unique and define you and motivate you. You can either overwhelm or overcompensate for them -- but they truly define you as a human being...So that life became a question of either dealing with this monstrousness in one way or another...One finds a way to understand and make friends with that monster and understand that that's the very thing that makes you who you are. That's your emotional and spiritual fingerprint.

I love to continue to challenge myself and put myself in situations that are slightly uncomfortable.

My self-confidence didn't come from my appearance, it came from other things that I did. But certainly not my appearance.

I'm kind of one of these guys who wants to play everything once before it's all over.
