I was the Pink Pansy or whatever, wearing this crazy thing.

I'm doing music, and we both want to do some drama.

I passed up a lot of work 'cause a lot of movies that may be out there right now I passed em up because there may have been a lot of cussin' in 'em.

If it wasn't for my drama teacher, I wouldn't be here right now.

We didn't know anything about comedy duos - Abbot and Costello, Martin and Lewis - we didn't know anything about that. Kim Fields showed us a tape of Martin and Lewis and their old shows and they come through the curtain so we started doing research on them.

Mystery Men you can take grandma, you can take everyone to see this film.

You could do a scene that takes 15 hours, but in the movie, it's only 10 minutes. The scene where they put the sauce poisoning in; it took eight hours.

After that, I started going downtown and doing a lot of theater shows in Chicago. When you go downtown there, it's like you're in New York, it's like going to Broadway.

After that I got an agent and went on like a million auditions. You win some, you lose some.

Being a role model, you just got to watch what you do.

I was the Pink Pansy or whatever, wearing this crazy thing.

I was a drama major also so it's cool to cuss for meaning, but for no apparent reason, no.

I did a lot of theater in the South side of Chicago.

Every movie I do, or when I'm on the sketch comedy show, I don't really get into it until I have an outfit or something funny with my head or face or something.

Where I'm from, they'll beat your head until it gets back down to normal size.

He felt like the invisible boy. When he got to be part of the mystery Men he felt like he had a purpose.

Invisible Boy was fun. Everybody else's character, they knew where they were at already as a superhero. But invisible boy's character, you kind of grow up with him within the movie.

I loved Spider-Man, Spider-Man was the man.

I was always the class clown.

If you're a person of faith that is conservative, that's pro-life, as I am, that believes strongly in traditional family values, as I do... then how we talk about them matters.

Brimstone was great. That was another occasion when they called me in to do the pilot and it turned into a regular job, which made me quite happy. It was another really good experience and we were all so surprised when they pulled the plug on it.

Continuing to grow and continuing to improve is my main goal.

I can turn around and scream and get angry, but I turn around and I forget about it.

I have a lot of incomplete short films and incomplete scripts out there.

I don't have tapes of meditation, but I put on the meditation station. I did as a player, too. I used to always play the game before the game happened. As a coach, I do the same thing.

Just because a couple people on the Supreme Court declare something to be 'constitutional' does not make it so.

In my life, there have been people that I was convinced would be around forever, and yet, somehow they managed to drift away after a couple of years. Likewise there have been people who have begun as casual acquaintances but become more important with each passing year.

I'm always online looking for new music and things like that.

Anyone that goes to battle goes to battle knowing the mindset and tactics of their enemies.

I would hate to think I'm promoting sadness as an aesthetic. But I grew up in not just a family but a town and a culture where sadness is something you're taught to feel shame about. You end up chronically desiring what can be a very sentimental idea of love and connection. A lot of my work has been about trying to make a space for sadness.

The first time onstage, a light went on. 'OK, this is my thing. I'm comfortable here. This is my thing.'

It turns out that the 'Cry It Out' method of baby sleep training, where you ignore that your kid is screaming, crying and turning 40 shades of purple so that she can break herself out of the habit of being spoiled and cuddled to sleep, does more harm - way more - than good.

It's absolutely impossible, but it has possibilities.

Chicago fans cheer and boo who they want. They're great fans whether they like me or not. They show you how they feel. I don't like crowds that sit on their hands.

If you can't read, the only thing you can do is enjoy the pictures, not the whole story. Reading is the key to knowledge. Knowledge is the key to understanding. So read on, young man! Read on, young lady!

Through the music I hope to give it an arc that gives it a greater sense of a journey through the set rather than a bunch of songs.

It is never wise to run any race but your own.

I watched a million coming-out videos, and that was kind of how I accepted it myself.

A good drama critic is one who perceives what is happening in the theatre of his time. A great drama critic also perceives what is not happening.

In the post-Watergate atmosphere of 1975 and 1976, the just-plain-folks personalities of both Ford and Carter seemed the perfect antidote to Nixon's arrogant, isolated presidency. But as alert history-minded readers know, Ford and Carter were both rebuffed by voters in their efforts to hold on to the presidency.

I may discuss love, and I don't mind if two men fall in love, fine. Two women, fine. But I flinch when I think of two Jewish women getting together and having a child because the idea of having two Jewish mothers makes my head explode. I have one; I couldn't handle two.

Conspiracy is a small but durable seller retooled every year or so.

Think first of the action that is right to take think later about coping with ones fears.
