I vowed that whenever my family needed me, I would give up everything to go to them, no matter what. The show must go on was meaningless to me.
It did remind me of something out of Greek mythology - the richest king who gets everything he wants, but ultimately his family has a curse on it from the Gods.
Everything Sholom Aleichem talks about in his plays and his short stories is about people, family, man's relationship with his God, the breaking down of tradition.
To me, family is everything. I want children to realize how important their families are and what a support system a family is.
My only concern is playing. Everything else, my family looks after. In our house, everyone has a job, and my job in our house is to play football.
I have those moments with my kids and family where we try to unplug and just be in the moment. We put everything else to the side and just be there with our family.
I think Whitman more than any other poet possessed the gift of revealing to others the beauty of everything around us, the beauty of nature, the beauty of human beings.
What a man does for pay is of little significance. What he is, as a sensitive instrument responsive to the world's beauty, is everything!
The beauty of music is that everyone hears it their own way, and every song you hear leaves an impression on you that alters the way you hear everything from that point on.
I am obsessed with beauty. I want everything to be perfect, and of course it isn't. And that's a tough place to be because you're never satisfied.
People come in with business plans and, I mean I know that no one is going to meet everything they say in a business plan but you got to have something to, to guide towards.
The TV business is like the produce section of the market. Today everything is fresh and glistening and firm. And tomorrow, when they find a bruise on you, they toss you out.
I was so enamored with the idea of being in show business so everything was bright to me. I mean, I didn't think of it as being tough and things like that.
Until 'Scrubs,' I didn't have a business manager. I learned everything on my own - and I learned the hard way.
Now with all this movie business, everybody's coming around wanting to know everything that's happened since I was four. It's like going to an analyst.
You read a book from beginning to end. You run a business the opposite way. You start with the end, and then you do everything you must to reach it.
In business it is most often all about getting your foot in the door and once you do, everything opens up and things start to naturally progress into bigger and more opportunities.
Working on a play is a vibrant and collaborative business. Everyone from the choreographer to the music director to the director to the writers work together toward the same goal, and everyone chimes in on everything.
In this business you have to develop a thick skin, but I'm always going to feel everything. It's my nature.
Freedom. And Justice. If you have those two, it covers everything. You must stick to those principles and have the courage of your convictions.
Monday Night Football. That was everything to me because you get a chance to show everybody what you're capable of. It's only two teams on that Monday night.
