“My life, in some ways, has been a half-measure. I didn't commit myself all the way to my marriage and family, because I would have given up more. And I didn't go all the way with just being completely selfish. I always wonder where my career would be if I was more selfish.”

“For better or ill, I was very heavily influenced by men I knew who always dressed formally.”

“When I'm not working, I dress like a surfer. I look like I'm going to come into your house and clean your pool.”

“I need to be home more. That's the goal now. I have a steady flow of things people want me to do.”

“Ultraconservatism is, to me, so illogical. Everywhere you go, conservatives want to cut, cut, cut, cut - cut money for powerless people. So, that's the biggest problem I have with them.”

“I won every award you could win in television. I got paid well. And people loved '30 Rock'. And I loved '30 Rock'. I mean, sometimes you do a show that's a hit show, and you hate it.”

“Have I thought about having more kids? Oh sure, that would be great; that would be heaven. That would be fantastic.”

“You read some columnists in the newspapers; you have to wonder who they are really working for. You can see they have an agenda.”

“I never thought of myself as a wealthy person. I've thought of myself as a person who has had a lot of luck. I don't have the same stress that other people have, but there are too many things I could have done differently if wealth was what I was after. If I was all about money, I would have lived in L.A.”

“I went to Jimmy Gandolfini's funeral, and when I was there, I realized Jimmy Gandolfini didn't have Twitter.”

“I don't try to communicate with my 'audience'. I don't bother with that any more. I used to try to have conversations with people, but it's futile.”

“There are people who would rather choke than go see my movies. They write me letters all the time.”

“In the theater, you act more of the time. In the movies, you get to act maybe 20 or 30 minutes of the day. I love acting in movies. It's just different.”

“Soaps are the best. They really are. If you can do a soap, well, you can do anything. You have to learn pages of dialogue very quickly.”

“Down with Dukes of Hazzard!”
