“My life has taken on a different course. I've got a responsibility now not just as a husband but as a father.”

“'Profit' was an intriguing fellow that couldn't be approached as a villain or a hero. The challenge in hanging a show on a character like Jim Profit was that we knew that we were in for a rough reception.”

“I started to run marathons and got into road biking in Los Angeles. It was a lot of fun and I managed to get into the shape of my life.”

“Television doesn't get any better than the second episode of 'Castle.'”

“I spend more time in suits than anyone in the corporate world.”

“We don't work for the government. We don't carry guns. We don't chase aliens. We are a man and a woman. The similarities end there... If 'X-Files' and 'Touched by an Angel' crashed on 'Highway to Heaven,' you'd have 'Mysterious Ways.'”

“The best TV is always about family, whether it's 'All in the Family,' or 'The Sopranos' or 'The Flintstones.'”

“It's fun when you have a whole team of writers that really like writing for someone; you always end up with some really great lines.”

“I thought I was signed up to be on 'Heroes.' It turns out I signed up to be on 'Survivor.'”

“You just go out there and do the best you can. If it hits, it hits. And if it doesn't, you go on to the next thing.”

“Acting just seems to be a way of getting into a different place. It seems like a really creative place to be.”

“I just don't get out as much as people think I do.”

“'Profit' in my mind is as good as television gets, and if that didn't make it, all bets are off on really predicting what's going to work and what's not.”

“I wasn't a good kid. I didn't hurt anybody, but I was doing things kids do that they shouldn't.”

“Part of the reason a hit show is a hit show is because of the people - good, solid, decent people.”

“Every show needs a jerk. I guess I'm that guy.”

“Television is a business and, financially speaking, they have decisions and considerations that go far beyond the creative merit of the show. But at the same time, you'd like to believe in a man's word. When he shakes your hand and says he's going to stay with it, and doesn't, it's really frustrating in a way.”

“I did a show called 'Profit' a while back, and I based some of the work on some people that were in office at the time.”

“Football is one of the main things I can look back on with pride.”

“It's not stupid TV, it's not a reality program. It actually is complex. There's many layers to 'Heroes.'”
