hero dean my-hero
Dean Martin is one of my heroes.
people the-end-of-the-day looks
If at the end of the day, people look at it and say, oh, yeah, I liked his stuff, or for the most part I liked his stuff, or I've enjoyed watching some of the things he's done, that's all I can hope for.
years careers lasts
For the last thirty years in my career I never know what I'm doing next.
character culture ifs
I wouldn't be surprised if some day, they put the Simpsons in the Smithsonian. It's become part of our culture, those characters.
home want might
I reached that day that I always thought might happen, where I say to myself I don't want to do this anymore. I'm looking for some stability. I want to stay home.
life-lesson mean trying
I mean, it's the life lessons that I suppose you learn that nobody gets a free ride and that you do the best you can with the means that you can and try to open yourself to as much knowledge and all that that you can.
differences eight acting
The actual time you're acting is miniscule compared to the time you're getting ready to do the work. The big difference on series television is, there's not a lot of hanging-out time. You're pumping those pages out, you're doing six, seven, eight pages a day. And I like that pace.
way stills
But we're still in somewhat a Puritanical society in a lot of ways.
want racket ifs
I'm in the wrong racket if I didn't want a public life.
people kitchen breakfast
That's why I like the scenes where we're just in the kitchen having breakfast, because it's the interaction between people. The chaos.
thinking blue actors
I think of being an actor as a blue-collar profession.
play cards cracks
That's why I really don't play cards or gamble. Because I'd crack.
people benefits lines
But what I will do is I'll acknowledge it and if it can be of any help the fact that I do acknowledge it then maybe other people will benefit from it because I do have somewhat of a public forum being in the line of work I am.
believe flip sides
If you're going to believe in a God, then you also have to equally believe that there's a flip side to this.
