I've won some pretty cool things in my life and I have a lot of great titles.
I actually find a lot of parallels in jazz and cartooning.

My role 14 years ago in Richard III - that was the first time I played a bad guy and learned a lot about it - they have all the fun!
I've always been a relatively big history buff. In college, I took a lot of history courses, and when I was in grad school, I liked to audit them.
I have few other characters to relate to other than myself. I have enough of a body of work now that the paternal side of Alan Thicke gets a lot of play. I do get a lot of calls to play dads.

A lot of people in this business are born with money or family connections.

Alaska Airlines and I have a lot in common, so coming together to delight travelers with savory, high quality food from the Pacific Northwest made sense.
Artists need some kind of stimulating experience a lot of times, which crystallizes when you sing about it or paint it or sculpt it. You literally mold the experience the way you want. It's therapy.
It takes a lot of imagination to be a good photographer. You need less imagination to be a painter because you can invent things. But in photography everything is so ordinary; it takes a lot of looking before you learn to see the extraordinary.

I think a lot of my fans are anxious for more than just my singles. They know I'm a dreamer. They know I'm someone who is real spiritual.

A lot of people give actors credit when they gain weight for a role in a drama when they win an Oscar, but when you're doing a sitcom, people don't give you a lot of credit, because you've got to keep your weight on for five or six years if it's successful.

It's very difficult being an actor and being away for a lot of time, but my sons haven't complained too much too often.
For a lot of actors, there's a sort of code of honor around playing something other than yourself, which I just don't have.

I read a lot of scripts and so many are clearly a knockoff of one familiar genre or another.

Dub and reggae... I play that a lot around the house.

Politics is a lot tougher than physics.
