As actors, if you get a pilot on HBO or on USA, your odds are good that it's going to get picked up.

To be honest, I don't think there's anything more exciting than an empty stadium. When you see it empty like that, all you see is possibility.

White Collar' is a show about the unlikely pairing of an FBI agent and an ex-con solving smart, glamorous, interesting and provocative crimes in a sometimes very funny way.

I was a baseball player. I played in high school and a little bit in college. I was a catcher. I don't know if I could have played any other position. As a catcher, you're always on the ball.

I was young enough to certainly realize the excitement of how popular 'Seinfeld' was.

It is quite different, but I love doing a series because you get to live with a character for a much longer amount of time. And the other aspect of it is that you have a steady job.

Doing 'White Collar,' quite often my character goes undercover, so therein lies the compounding of the imagination. I get to play Peter Burke and then someone else when Peter Burke goes undercover.

I've always admired Gene Hackman, Jack Lemmon, Jimmy Stewart, Gregory Peck. I'm showing my age here.

In order to be able to work with somebody in acting, you've first got to think that person's a good actor before you can enjoy working with them. I guess that goes with the trust.

I would just love to do 'It's a Wonderful Life.' I think that movie is fantastic.

I think USA has a great handle on programming and content. They know their viewers and they know what works... Character driven programming!

When things go bad, don't go with them.

Animals travel on all fours. Mankind on two. Motorcycling is not a means of transport but an ideology, a nomadic way of life.

Man's thought is always of the punishment that will come to him if he sins. God's thought is always of the glory man will miss if he sins. God's purpose for redemption is glory, glory, glory.

Every person that you meet knows something you don't

A life directed chiefly toward the fulfillment of personal desires will sooner or later always lead to bitter disappointment.

For a year, I had all sorts of weirdos coming on to me.

Traveling - it leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller.

Hollywood is just a bunch of people going around in Learjets to other people asking them if they've got any money? Well, they might have if they didn't spend it all on jets.

I admire this town a lot. They take care of their own. There's not a lot of places in the world, much less America, that do that. It's just a great place.

I had to get back to work... NBC has me under contract; the baby and I only have a verbal agreement.
