It's funny, like 15 years ago when I was a kid doing all the John Hughes movies, I remember Bruce Willis was the only guy who was transitioning from television into film.

A true friend is someone who says nice things behind your back.

You have film actors doing TV, rap stars doing TV, with everyone kind of crossing the line.

There've been many a season where I couldn't get work, and I think that you learn character development and you learn how to really want what you do in life when you can't really do it.

Why are you messing with the fantasy? We know about the reality. Don't ruin the fantasy, OK?

I think that obstacles lead to growth and ultimately, the most learning I've done in my life is between jobs.

years later, it's all the TV stars with the film deals, whether it's the cast of Friends or That '70s Show now with Ashton and other people doing stuff.

I think in both of those situations, it's important as an actor to learn, despite the success I had as a kid, that it's important to understand what it means to be a small fish in a big pond.

First of all, it was in my contract. I knew I would be directing an episode.

I think my favorite, and Coppola and that whole thing. East coast Italian directors I guess.

That, we encourage, and I think we're doing a pretty good job with the website and also the DVD, like the first season came out and the second season's being prepared now.

People with power listen less carefully, and have difficulty taking into account what others already know.

Money talks, I record.

The country in which I live is not my native country that lies elsewhere and it must always be the center of my longings.

My garden in England is full of eating-out places, for heat waves, warm September evenings, or lunch on a frosty Christmas morning.

But for those people who might give up: Get real about what you want and go after it.

I think the world of you...and you know what condition the world is in today.

I never argue with the tape. To be angry at the market because it unexpectedly or even illogically goes against you is like getting mad at your lungs because you have pneumonia.

Character comes before scholarship.

Never hear what somebody thinks about you, you'll live longer. Hear that they're in pain. Don't hear their analysis.

I like the blues a lot. I grew up on it.
