Zitat des Tages von Tim Daly:
I used to build lofts in SoHo back when there was nothing there. I had a stoop on West Broadway between Prince and Spring. My partner and I would sit there, eat dinner, and watch the world go by.
I could have been a rich kid who stayed in college and got by on the path of least resistance, but I got much more out of being in the world and pulling my own weight.
I don't think I gave 'Wings' its due. I was young. I wanted to light the world on fire.
I grew up with actors, so I never thought of them as anything but human - sort of horribly, inextricably human.
I love getting on the subway because you get on the car, and you see the entire human race represented in any given subway car.
I was a little bit of a slob who was sort of surrounded by dirty laundry. I can trace the exact moment that I became a tidy human being, and that moment was the day my son Sam was born.
Everybody wants to have their 'Breaking Bad.' It went to Bryan Cranston. It couldn't have happened to a better guy or a better actor.
I've always felt if my nose were more crooked, critics would focus more on my acting.
Eastern medicine is not about curing your sickness. It's about keeping you well.
There are two jobs. There is being an actor, and there is being a celebrity. Some people are really good at both. Some people are really good celebrities and terrible actors, and some people are really good actors and terrible celebrities. Hopefully, I am a really good actor and an OK celebrity.
What can I say: I got started on the whole wife-and-kids thing at a young age. I had my kids while I was in utero.
What I've realized, and had to become comfortable with, is that I'm just, I don't think, a star. I'm an actor.
My public Facebook page is what it is. My Twitter account is sort of what it is, but if I'm totally honest with you, that is not my personal, private self. I have another Facebook page that is devoted to my dear friends and family, and they can keep in touch with me that way.
It's ironic, really, because I've spent the bulk of my career making my living in a very commercial realm: network television. And yet, my sensibilities don't necessarily line up with how I pay my rent.
I like bothering people and stirring things up.
For people like me, who have blocked out a chunk of their past, you wonder - if you open that door, if you walk into that room of your memories, what will happen? Will it destroy you or will it make you stronger?
I can't help teasing people. That's the way that I am, and I hope that nobody takes it too personally.
I had so much fun on 'The Mindy Project.'
I just can't stand the fact that they're going out on their own - I love having my kids around, and I'm angry at them for going out and becoming independent. I want to tuck them in and drive them to school in the morning, but they just won't let me do that anymore.
The biggest compliment I can ever get as an actor is to have someone say, 'We didn't recognize you.'
Usually when I see myself in a film or on television, there's about a six-month period where I can't look at it because all I'll see are the mistakes. I'm just appalled by the person that I see.
I have no illusions of being the big box office draw. But I would like to have some choices.
The creative tension with spirituality vs. practicality in the world of politics is a vital conversation.
I didn't dream of being in television or film. But then I got married pretty young and had children, and I wanted to feed the children, so I worked a lot of film and television.
I have a beautiful wooden Superman statue with a removable cape - I really love that piece.
It's an actor's job to play all the human conditions - light, dark, and medium.
'Wings' offered me the rare opportunity to be a full-time dad and a working actor for eight years.
I love exploring the relationship between fathers and daughters. I think that's a special thing, especially with daughters who are dealing with being adults.
'Wings' was a blessing, but it was also very difficult. Whenever you do situation comedy, no matter how excellent the execution - and we had a great cast and great writers - but the format is somewhat limited.
We sort of have given up on the idea of taking any sort of personal responsibility for what we see. I don't understand it at all. There are many things that I won't let my kids watch.
