I didn't start jogging or running until I was 37 years old. It was something that really helped me change my life.
I did tons of theater in school, and then when I was 16 and got my driver's license, I started driving to Los Angeles, along with my friend Eric Stoltz, who was a year ahead of me and was doing the same thing. So we had the same manager, and we started auditioning for things and doing commercials when we were 16.
I just spent a lot of time on 'ER' for that eight years. I also started working when I was 16, so by the time I left 'ER,' I was 40 years old, I had this incredible experience, my wife had this great company, we had four kids, it was like, 'Let's go to New York and live for a while and make that the priority.'
I wasn't used to sitting on the bench. I shouldn't have done it, but I did kind of start to lay back and not work as hard. It's taking a toll on me right now, but I feel I'm starting to gain the confidence of the coaches.
I was not worried at halftime at all. But then we come out and only score two points in the third quarter - you just can't win like that.
We came out flat and everything was off, but once we got rolling we had the game in the bag.
She had a knack for getting rebounds. She made it tough for anybody under the boards.
Why is there such vanity about hair? I make a point to bathe. I worry about boogers in my nose, and I ask the makeup artist to cover up my pimples, but beyond that, I try not to be too vain.
The offensive line was getting a real good push, ... I feel if I can see a little hole, I can get to it, and that was happening today.
You've got to make the most of where you are. Then, when you're somewhere else, you've got to have the ability to fulfill that.
My family had all kinds of complications in relationships. I would like to meet the person who did not. Since when is being absolutely perfect what being a human is? What do we gain from that?
I love being a part of something that is grassroots, and you can see the actual changes, the effect of what people do.
There are definitely roles within this industry that are industry-related, but to be a good actor, you really have to want to act first. At the same time, my goal was never to go to Hollywood to make movies. I think if you come here with that attitude, then you've missed a few steps.
'ER' was so huge that whatever I did coming back to television, I'd have to feel as strongly about.
