“Well, I've seen a bunch of acupuncturists and one of my sister-in-laws is an herbalist. So I know a lot about alternative medicine. I don't know a lot about the practice but I know about the world.”

“I never had the desire to get in front of the camera. It never occurred to me! I always thought I'd be a theater actor.”

“'Wings' was a blessing, but it was also very difficult. Whenever you do situation comedy, no matter how excellent the execution - and we had a great cast and great writers - but the format is somewhat limited.”

“It's become a cliche to think of marriage as a disaster area and a war zone.”

“I've always felt if my nose were more crooked, critics would focus more on my acting.”

“I used to build lofts in SoHo back when there was nothing there. I had a stoop on West Broadway between Prince and Spring. My partner and I would sit there, eat dinner, and watch the world go by.”

“It's not like I walk around being Superman in real life. But when you read the script and put yourself in the position that Superman is in - I mean, he's always saving the planet, for God's sake. When you realize that, it's not difficult to take the gravitas of the situation and make your voice do what it needs to do.”

“What can I say: I got started on the whole wife-and-kids thing at a young age. I had my kids while I was in utero.”

“Eastern medicine is not about curing your sickness. It's about keeping you well.”

“I have no illusions of being the big box office draw. But I would like to have some choices.”

“I am a member of the human race. There's a certain irony about the cyberworld. You don't know who is talking to you, if it's a machine, so I tend to try to reach out to those fellow humans.”

“I didn't dream of being in television or film. But then I got married pretty young and had children, and I wanted to feed the children, so I worked a lot of film and television.”

“What can I say: I got started on the whole wife-and-kids thing at a young age.”

“I love exploring the relationship between fathers and daughters. I think that's a special thing, especially with daughters who are dealing with being adults.”

“I'm probably my own harshest critic. If I get a hundred good reviews and one really bad one, it's that one out of a hundred that I remember. I think we actors are hard on ourselves, and I don't know why that is.”

“I have a beautiful wooden Superman statue with a removable cape - I really love that piece.”

“I was a little bit of a slob who was sort of surrounded by dirty laundry. I can trace the exact moment that I became a tidy human being, and that moment was the day my son Sam was born.”

“I love getting on the subway because you get on the car, and you see the entire human race represented in any given subway car.”

“I appreciate all the devices the Windows people are coming up with, but the operating system... I just want to smash it.”

“My public Facebook page is what it is. My Twitter account is sort of what it is, but if I'm totally honest with you, that is not my personal, private self. I have another Facebook page that is devoted to my dear friends and family, and they can keep in touch with me that way.”
