I try not to lie to people - the only way to control the way you're perceived is to tell the truth.

When I work, a lot of times I have to lose weight, and I do that, but in my regular life I was not eating right, and I was not getting enough exercise. But by the nature of my diet and that lifestyle - boom! The end result was high blood sugars that reach the levels where it becomes Type 2 diabetes. I share that with a gajillion other people.

I've talked to a number of actors who have gained weight for roles, and just the sheer physical toll it puts on one's knees and shoulders - no one wants to do it again. I'm 57 and I don't think I'm going to take on any job or go on vacation again and see to it that I can gain 30 pounds.

There's such an advantage to being involved in the day-to-day details of each other's lives. It's a marvelous fabric to exist in.

Most people want to be able to go off and deal with their day - stop in here, run errands there - and when you can't do that, going out becomes a chore.

Let's not pretend there isn't a huge industry driven by the choices made by editors and writers who decide what a story is.

I am who I am, and I think I have a good nature, by and large. But if someone takes advantage of that good nature, well then, you know, I'm not that nice a guy.
