I certainly was an actor and then I drifted more towards writing and directing.

If you are truly fearless as a performer, than you don't fear kids or dogs.

As an actor I kind of do. I started out doing voice overs in the mid 80s when I was in grad school.

The fact that I haven't been married might qualify me as belonging in the nutty category to a lot of women.

Any tendency to design for design's sake, to create a pattern within which the owner must live according to rules set by the designer, is headed for frustration, if not disaster.

Principally, I'll give anything a chance, only because the greatest challenges are the ones that you never see coming.

I would go into my three different sisters' rooms in the early-mid '70s and they had very specific different tastes in music. I specifically remember lying on my different sisters' bedroom floors and listening to their record collections. And "Starship Trooper" was one of my sister Nancy's favorite songs and favorite album. Music is so defining for me. In the late '70s and early '80s, I worked in radio. When I was in high school, I worked at two different radio stations.
