I was born and raised in Huntington Beach, California. I was very athletic, playing volleyball and softball. I did gymnastics for about ten years, too.
I played for 18 years, but the only thing that meant anything to me was the World Series.
I was involved in school plays, but when I left school I did a couple of odd jobs as a baker's apprentice and then as a fruit market porter in Manchester.
I actually do like playing off-beat people. I think it's more fun.
In my first film, Five Corners, I played a very scary, violent crazed character, and it exposed me to a lot of directors.
I always thought I could play pro ball. I had confidence in my ability, You have to. If you don't who will?
I was happy to ski and play a lot of ice hockey. But I've come back because I was - and am - a racing driver. This is what I do.
There's no better feeling in the world than knowing that my show played a role in stopping animal abuse or alleviating animal suffering.
My forte is playing drunks down the ages. When my agent rings me about a role, I don't ask what the part is, but what century it's in.
As you look at the flow of Muslim fundamentalism, or fundamentalism in various areas and various religions, they all play on the people who have very little.
I am relying on the theory that playing golf is just like riding a bike and that I haven't forgotten how.
Yeah, well I've always played comedy. My background is musical comedy theatre and that's really where my training is. As an actor, that's my training.
Guitar solos bore the hell out of me. Only a few guitarists interest me, and it's not about the solos they play, it's about the grooves they create.
In my mother's belly, I remember not liking the tempi my father played the Beethoven Sonatas in.
In the absence of that, I am happy to play solo, but I don't think there is any comparison.
Hearts was the pinnacle of my career. After I left, it really was downhill. Hearts is the club I always associate myself with, and I'm proud to have played for them.
You want somebody who's capable of being diverse in the characters they play, and you want a big name that's going to bring attention to the filmmakers and to the project.
It's hard to find a play that's right for me to do. Rather than waiting around for the right script to come along, I decided to write one myself.
It's fun playing two roles. The roles provide a wonderful range of emotions. Stuart is childlike and sensitive. Adam is ruthless, outrageous. He's flamboyant. He does the unexpected.
I didn't feel the kind of joy every day playing drums that I thought you were supposed to feel.
The way I grew up playing, and the way most Americans have grown up, is that you hit the ball up in the air and then it stops where it lands.
