I had to work in one of the most beautiful ski resorts in the world for almost three weeks. Pity me.

Willie Mays was the best ever. When I was in college I once made a catch like the one Mays made over his head. Sometimes when I'm lying in bed at night I think about it. It still makes me warm.

I was about 26 or 27 and it was imperative that I make a living right away and it's hard to make a living on stage, so I started in television and film.

Chemistry is really about two people who like to act together, I think. It's like tennis in the most cliched way. It's like if you hit the ball, they hit the ball back, and they don't hit it into the stands, and they don't put the ball in their pocket and walk off - and they don't argue with the umpire, you know?
David Duchovny
A bath tub, apparently, was the first thing I wanted to be.

I don't want to know what happens in any movie that I go to see.

I reread Ball Four by Jim Bouton, the father of all sports books. Aside from that, and books like Out of Their League by Dave Meggyesy, sports books generally pull their punches.

I don't think of myself as a TV actor. I think of myself as a film, television and Off-Off-Off-Off Broadway actor.
