Nowadays, if you have a mustache, people look at you like you're crazy. But when I was growing up, I never saw my dad without a mustache.
Kevin Connolly
Believe me, I've taken a lot of heat for my mustache.
Both my parents died on the young side. My father was 45, and my mother was 61, so cancer's affected me in a big way.
It's funny because Hollywood is such a small place that everyone really is less than 6 degrees of separation.
The Islanders and their owner, Garth Snow, were very generous with me and let me do some cool stuff inside the organization.
I live in L.A. and love L.A., and you couldn't drag me out of there kicking and screaming.
I've been very supportive of the Islanders. I'm at every home opener.
There are people who didn't like 'The Departed,' you know?
I did host the Jim Rome show with Jerry Ferrara for three hours when he was on vacation. Three hours is a long time. Think about how long that is. It was tricky, but it was a great experience.
James Van Der Beek and I go way back. We were in the movie 'Angus' together in 1994 or 1995, so I've known him for a million years.
If you know the filmmaker is good and the leading actor is a movie star like Diane Lane, you know you're part of something great.
San Anita is a beautiful track. It's not too far from my house in L.A., and it's a beautiful place to go and watch the horses run.
I'm not married, and I don't have any kids, so sometimes I envy that end of things when I see a family vacation or people at the beach with their kids or at sporting events with their kids; you wonder, 'Is that a part of your life that you want to go into?'
James Woods is great. I actually did a movie with James Woods in 2000: 'John Q.'
Growing up, 'Newsday' was the paper that was delivered to my doorstep every day.
I got no entourage in real life. Solo. I go solo. No entourage.
The thing that everyone liked about 'Entourage' is that these are fish-out-of-water guys living this dream.
I'm a nostalgic guy.
Gary Bettman's a smart guy.
I've always thought the expression 'passion project' was kind of a cliche until I started working on 'Big Shot' for 'ESPN.'
I'm not just saying this because I'm in the movie, but I really would recommend 'Secretariat.' It's fun, inspiring, and it's a great movie to take your little kids, brothers, sisters, or nieces and nephews to see that actually has real people in it and not animated characters.
The truth of the matter is, I'm a filmmaker.
My agent hates my directing career!
I'm proud of where I'm from. I'm proud of Long Island.
As an actor, there are so many different people to hide behind.
I've always said, 'Besides Kiefer Sutherland, I talked on a cell phone more than any other actor on a TV show.'
I've been acting for 30 years. It's a grind.
Nobody would ever, ever get even remotely lippy about the Islanders with me, or there'd be bloodshed on the set of 'Entourage.' Everybody knows that you don't even go there.
It's amazing what we remember as sports fans, right?
I'm a big Clive Owen fan.
Stories always seem to get better with age.
I'm a rah, rah guy's guy. I like to talk about sports and put people in headlocks.
I think most people are afraid of what they don't know.
What I think happened to the new arenas is that you need some memories. I remember going when the Staples Center first opened and it was like, 'OK,' but a couple championships later, and all of a sudden it becomes your house. You have to stake claim to it.
My favorite personal hockey moment was probably when Mike Bossy scored fifty goals in fifty games. He was the first one to do it since Rocket Richard. I was young when it happened, but I remember it very distinctly.
You don't want to miss out on something and feel like an idiot.
I have some lifelong friends I grew up with.
I went from such a testosterone-driven show to the exact opposite, because 'Friends With Better Lives' is run by the ladies. I imagine it's close to what being married feels like.
'Entourage' is almost required watching in L.A., and everyone seems to have story suggestions for the show itself, which is amazing because it makes you realize the show's really struck a chord and found its audience.
I certainly feel as if I've been blessed professionally and personally, but I've still got moves I'd like to make.
'Entourage' is a very, very, very unique acting experience. I could go in to win 1000 Academy Awards, and it would never be as much fun as the show.
It's a lot of work that goes into producing and directing and all those kinds of things. It doesn't just happen. It's a lotta work. It's a lot more work than acting.
My agent said that every Monday after an episode of 'Entourage,' at the staff meeting at the agency, that's all they do is talk about the episode the night before.
That's the thing - I've never really been single. I always end up in a relationship immediately.
If you discuss other people, words get twisted; things get turned around.
I was a homecoming king in high school! I was involved. I was a good member of the community, I thought.
I'm not a player! I'm the girlfriend type! I always have girlfriends.
