No matter what the role, you're trying to do the impossible - make a living in show business.

I love playing a dad. It's hard to find family dramas that are genuinely funny.

My eyebrows make a more profound impact on other people than they do on me. I just let 'em grow.

I made my Broadway debut in the revival of Hair and followed it up with the bus and truck tour of Grease.

Around 5th and 6th grade I thought Dean Martin was the coolest guy in the world; he was a great singer, had his own television show and acted in movies.

I feel like I won the Lotto, as far as that show's concerned.

In an attempt to amuse my friends and family, I would do impressions of Dean Martin, singing Everybody Loves Somebody. I secretly really enjoyed singing the song.

My eyebrows make a more profound impact on other people than they do on me. I just let em grow.

Unless youre one of the five billionaires out there who dont have to worry about anything every aspect of everything is stressful no matter what your job is.

By year three, you get nicer, bigger trailers.

When I came up, guys like Nicholson and DeNiro were held in highest regard.

Through every moment on stage for the first time, I felt like I was finally right where I belonged.

You can only be stupid when you're young.

To stay on the map you've got to keep showing up.

Whether it's on top of a phone booth or a $200 million soundstage, it's about stories.

My family were broadminded enough to support me when I wanted to pursue a life in the theatre.
