It's hard to be depressed around a ukulele. You just pick it up and you're halfway home.

Somebody's gotta stand up and say pubic hair is good, murder is bad. Sex is good, violence is bad.

Nothing else counts except what you want.

The character and the actor in a long-running series slowly become one. I think there must be funny stories about actors who, in the pilot for a TV series, did some weird thing with their eyes, or some speech impediment or something, and the next thing you know, it's eight years later, and they're still doing that freaking gag.

I have been working out for 30 years, staying in shape in the dream that someday I would get to play a sex scene. Finally I get one, and they cut it.

To a certain extent. I'm a fan of rehearsal on the day [of the shoot], more than getting together a week beforehand.

I've got two little girls, I'm not scared about sex. I'll teach them, it's not going to kill them. But what could kill them is violence. Guns, drinking and driving, these are the real dangers in our society.
