“I did the commencement speech at UNH in 2006, and one of the biggest jokes was a 'Guts' joke.”
“We know, in history, people are unable to put different elements together and create gold, yet it's what you're asking actors to do every day. You're asking them to relax enough with the confines and restrictions of the lights and the cameras, and you gotta hit this mark, to relax enough to create what seems wonderful and beautiful.”
“I took my job for Nickelodeon very seriously, and back then, it wasn't certainly as big of a network as it is now, culturally, and people my age didn't know much about it. But I loved my time there. I really put everything I had into doing 'Guts,' and it actually taught me a lot about how to work really hard.”
“The way that I live is in between the dual experiences of the tragedy mask and the comedy mask. I feel that I write best and think best in between those two masks.”
“I'm a big boy, and I knew what I was getting into when I got into TV.”
“I have three kids, and I'm a coach for a lot of their sports, so I'm around them a lot, but I see friends of mine with older kids and they don't really interact so much, other than giving them a place to live.”
“It's funny - sometimes people think we, as actors, have this wide range of choices of the roles we're doing, and in a lot of ways, when you're a younger actor, or just if you want to make a living in the business, you take your opportunities where they come.”
“The tale of the actor struggling to make it is oft-told for a reason.”
“A lot of times in television, it's incredibly rushed, and you're just trying to get the pace.”
“People ask me why I became an actor, and the truth is that once you get cut from the baseball team, you need another angle to get women to pay attention.”
“I love how professional sports unite a city and a group of people.”
