I grew up in Chicago, so I've always been a Bears fan. Dad used to take me to Bears games and Cubs games. My brother used to ride me over to Lake Forest College on his Honda Supersport and we'd watch the Bears practice. I remember those guys out there as monsters - they were the biggest things I've ever seen!

My wife, she likes to have things uncluttered, and if something is missing, then one has to be very careful not to ask her if it was thrown out - you have to ask her simply where it might be.

I've stopped racing to get to the red light.

Opportunity does not knock, it presents itself when you beat down the door.

I do like to cook; I'm sort of a mad scientist in the kitchen.

I can gab with pretty much anyone.

What, am I supposed to run around in a little red cape and save the world?

I always treat all the jobs I do as an acting class.

I love the institution of marriage, and I love my marriage.

Every actor wants to be everybody - play all the roles.

We ended up moving out to Texas. We live outside of Austin. We've got a couple horses, we've got three miniature donkeys, we've got four dogs. Miniature donkeys are very warm, loving animals.

I don't think I had a script on 'King Kong.' But usually you read a script and then you go and audition for it. It's rare when there's no script. I sort of like the latter better, because I'm more successful at it.

Austin is such a free and creative place, but I can't enjoy it as much because everyone I love is back in L.A.

Oh, man, if in real life I was as cool and suave as Coach Taylor and had all the answers, things would be easier.

I did play two years of high school football and was very short and uncoordinated but the second year I was very tall and skinny and very uncoordinated.

We run into some pretty tough arguments sometimes, but the idea is that at the end of the day, my wife and I realize that we'll always be holding each other's hand.

Look, isn't there any way you can just stamp me as not crazy and let me get outta here.

Opportunity does not knock it presents itself when you beat down the door.

One way I differ from my character, Coach Taylor, is that I never would have taken this faraway job without my wife's consent.

Television, cable, features are always out there.

The only reason anyone ever called me a hero is because I get this paper, here.

If you're not really having a good time, it's not worth it.

High school was interesting, because I went from a public school middle school to an academy where the first year we were doing Latin, chemistry, biology. I mean, I was woefully unprepared for the type of study.

What I do is not rocket science, but I sure do love it.

I really love to ride my motorcycle. When I want to just get away and be by myself and clear my head, that's what I do.
