I've been on a lot of shows that nobody cared about.

My parents were amazing people who had no business being together - and they knew it.

We've all been around love enough to know how lucky we are. I've never seen anybody have a cross word on the set, and I'm there a lot. All the women just got brand-new trailers, so they're happy.

They're pretty particular about what they show. They certainly edit the scripts and have conversations with the writers about what they are and aren't willing to portray. But the writers and the network are pretty much on the same page.

It was described as Sex and the Suburbs. It's so not that. Because on Sex and the City, those women told each other everything; on our show, it's much more like the real suburbs - nobody tells anybody anything. Everything's a secret.

My last real job was selling air time for CBS affiliates. I quit that when I was 28, and that was the last real job I had. I beat the system. I've been able to do this full-time for almost 15 years.

James was my given name, but I was a junior; so I was Jamie as a kid.

I still treat every job as if I might never get hired again as far as the way I save money and live really modestly.

It's still about the women. It's not called Desperate Plumber. People are more interested in cat fights.

I've been on a lot of shows that nobody cared about.

Real acting is realistic no matter what the medium.

I'm pro-choice and those things, but I typically vote Republican.

I was born and raised in the South, which is pretty conservative.

The promos with all of the beautiful women probably attracted some men, but the mystery story line is pretty cool. It's got that dark edge, and people will watch anything funny.

I love David Caruso. I know it's not cool, but I do. I watch CSI: Miami. I think he's interesting.

The cast is so big that you really don't work very much.

I saw a story in the Los Angeles Times that 40 percent of the viewers are men. It didn't really surprise me.

I have a long track record of really horrible relationships and a divorce behind me; so I'm not the guy to ask. I just got really fortunate with this one.

It slows down grocery shopping, because so many women at the store watch the show. I always end up talking to two or three people every time I go to Ralphs. It's fun.

I think theatre helped, only because it was acting experience. I got to work with a lot of directors.

I'm not a hard-line Republican, because I'm a lot more open-minded than that.

And of course Marc Cherry heightens it and makes it hilarious. But there's so many universal themes in the show, and he made it so funny. We knew he was onto something if he could keep it up and, thankfully, he did.

My wife being a trainer helps, because when I'm at home, everything we keep at the house is pretty healthy.

The biggest surprise about our marriage is that Erin was out there.

Last year, I was on Threat Matrix. We were on Thursday against Friends and Survivor; so this year it's fun to know people are watching, and to know that all of your hard work is not sort of wasted.

When I came out here, my manager thought that casting directors might think I'm a girl, and when I did Threat Matrix, they thought Jamie was a little light.

And they didn't have to get into a lot of legal speak or talk ER terms, they were real people. I think that's why so many actresses were attracted to it. And it was just about problems that you could identify with so much, right off the bat.

I'm off at least three or four days a week, so it's a perfect job, really.

This is my third ABC show over the last four years, so we were afraid that nobody would find it. ABC was really struggling and so we just weren't very confident that it would find an audience.

I think it's important that the rest of the world know that we're not all the same and that we don't all have the sort of arrogance it feels like they're perceiving from our leaders.

I think it helps a lot when they tell people that Teri Hatcher likes you. If you're Teri Hatcher's boyfriend, suddenly you're hunky I guess. I've spent 40 years being average and now I'm Teri hatcher's boyfriend and here we are. I've been really fortunate.

I never had any classes or went to theatre school like a lot of actors, so all of my training has been on stage with different directors. That was a pretty good school room.

A newspaper is a public trust, and we will suffer as a society without them. It is not the Internet that has killed them. It is their own greed, it is their own stupidity, and it is capitalism that has taken our daily newspapers from us.

I've worked for a long time, but I got to the point where I felt like, I am out here so far, how do I get back? I want to have a real life, a personal life. I didn't want a personal life I just visited.

My contention is that that style is just as stylized as an ornate style.

It means a lot to everyone around me that I look good, and I don't think it should have to. I just think I should look the way I do.

Being in New York City is the best because I'm always walking, taking the subway and walking up and down the stairs - whether you like it or not, you're going to get exercise.

When I was really young, my mom enrolled me in dance classes.

Choose your corner pick away at it carefully intensely and to the best of your ability and that way you might change the world.

Upper education used to open doors. Not so true anymore. The degree used to be a screening tool, but that is falling by the wayside as there are a glut of college grads on the market.

Somebody told me long ago that in acting, it's okay to steal, just steal from the best.

I am normal. In fact, I think I might be more normal than anyone else.

Shock can kill you. Shock is terrible. But what you've got to do is live in the present, which is what I have always done.

If Home Depot doesn't have it, Mark Bradford doesn't need it.

It's only human nature to want to know what you can do on your own or with someone else.

The model of ownership, in a society organized round mass consumption, is addiction.

We are all idealists in that we are ever discontented with the present state of the Ego and the World.

A home movie of a fictional home life, an epic assembled from vignettes, 'Boyhood' shimmers with unforced reality. It shows how an ordinary life can be reflected in an extraordinary movie.

To me, 'The End of the Jews' - both the title and the novel itself - is about the end of pat, uncritical ways of understanding oneself in the world.
