Opportunity does not knock, it presents itself when you beat down the door.

If you're not really having a good time, it's not worth it.

High school was interesting, because I went from a public school middle school to an academy where the first year we were doing Latin, chemistry, biology. I mean, I was woefully unprepared for the type of study.

Every actor wants to be everybody - play all the roles.

I do like to cook; I'm sort of a mad scientist in the kitchen.

I don't think I had a script on 'King Kong.' But usually you read a script and then you go and audition for it. It's rare when there's no script. I sort of like the latter better, because I'm more successful at it.

I did play two years of high school football and was very short and uncoordinated but the second year I was very tall and skinny and very uncoordinated.

I can gab with pretty much anyone.

I grew up in Chicago, so I've always been a Bears fan.

I'm in a great position now where I've got recognition. I'm not recognized too much. I think I'm recognized enough by the industry.

Look, isn't there any way you can just stamp me as not crazy and let me get outta here.

I think that sense of humor is important in marriage. A sense of humor gets people through marriage.

The only reason anyone ever called me a hero is because I get this paper, here.

We run into some pretty tough arguments sometimes, but the idea is that at the end of the day, my wife and I realize that we'll always be holding each other's hand. This is a lifelong relationship, and after 12 years she hasn't gotten rid of me yet.

We ended up moving out to Texas. We live outside of Austin. We've got a couple horses, we've got three miniature donkeys, we've got four dogs. Miniature donkeys are very warm, loving animals.

Oh, man, if in real life I was as cool and suave as Coach Taylor and had all the answers, things would be easier.

One way I differ from my character, Coach Taylor, is that I never would have taken this faraway job without my wife's consent.

My wife, she likes to have things uncluttered, and if something is missing, then one has to be very careful not to ask her if it was thrown out - you have to ask her simply where it might be.

Marriage is hard work, period.

Thank goodness I've saved my money.

Television, cable, features are always out there.

I've stopped racing to get to the red light.

I work six months and get three or four with the family.

Sometimes a scene may be about one thing, and it may end up still being about that, but the emotionality of it comes from somewhere else, or the humor of it comes from somewhere else, and it gives it that real-life quality.

When you walk out of your house in the morning, you don't know what you're going to see.

I just can't say enough about the actors having faith and trust in the writers and the writers having faith and trust in the actors.

I love playing a role where I think I'm right and then you learn you're not.

I want to find material that piques my interest, keeps me outside the box and challenges me.

My daughter loves horses. My other daughter loves soccer.

I work six months and get three or four with the family. I've stopped racing to get to the red light.

When I'm around authority, I still feel like I'm 14 or 15 years old.
