Don't forget where you came from and treat people a certain way.
I would tell myself the same thing that I continue to tell myself today, which is don't sweat the small things.
Sometimes we'll only see each other in passing, like ships passing in the night.
I have no problem at all taking my shirt off to tell a story.
I'm always going to be looking for something artistically or whatever. I think that's part of being driven, but that doesn't necessarily mean I'm unhappy.
I'm still waiting for somebody to wake me up.
I stumble all the time parenting my daughter. I ask her for forgiveness all the time and I preach forgiveness to her.
Some relationships are stronger than others at certain times.
I love acting, and so whenever I get the opportunity to act, I'm happy. I'm easy to please when it comes to that kind of stuff. I don't know what I'd do without it.
As you get older, you welcome people into your family because siblings get married and have kids. But then people also get divorces and things like that, and sometimes there's an exit from the family.
Obviously we can't do what we do if no one is paying attention.
There are people that have watched everything I've done, which is so sweet. Sometimes I'm grateful for that; sometimes I feel like I have to apologize.
Everybody has an inside scoop, so just be a nice guy. Be a nice person.
Anytime you go through a divorce, you're completely lost, whether you want to admit it or not, or whether you know it or not, you're completely lost.
When you find any great project - if it's onstage or it's a movie or a television show or whatever it might be, if it's wonderful, then that sort of transcends what the medium is.
When people are fanatical about something, it's contagious.
I have the greatest fans. I have fans that come from soap opera world, I have fans that come from superhero world, which are a whole different section of fans. They're so cool.
At 36, I think I was pretty happy [actually], but here's the thing that I think happens... you're expected to be somewhere at 36, and there's that feeling: At this particular age - especially for women for God's sake - you should have this many kids, you should have a husband, or you should have this... and it's overwhelming. So that perpetuates the feeling that no matter where you are, no matter how much money you have, no matter how many kids you have, no matter how great they're doing, whether you want kids or not, married or not, it doesn't matter - you feel behind.
I don't have a gardener because I enjoy pulling weeds. It's hard to explain but there is something fulfilling about pulling out a weed and knowing that you got all the roots.
I took a lot from friends, but also me.
I channel a lot of my own personal relationships anytime I prep for something.
I've certainly been to Hollywood parties, and I have friends that are ridiculous - wonderful people - but they're high rollers with tons of money.
I've struggled with money when I could have had a little more if I'd just taken the damn job.
I worked all through my 20's, all through my 30's, so I've been lucky to be working.
My daughter is 12, and we have an amazing relationship. She knows without a doubt that she can literally come to me with anything, and I will stifle myself and realize that if it's not what I want to hear, it's more important that she continues to come to me and tell me things and is honest with me than me getting mad at her or giving her my opinion right now. She has figured out a way to make me an amazing parent. She's a wonderful daughter.
