Life is composed of different inventions. I have continued to work at different things and rebuilt my home all by myself. I did it for the sake of satisfaction at doing something.

Things that are complex are not useful, Things that are useful are simple.

I would prefer to have invented a machine that people could use and that would help farmers with their work - for example a lawnmower.

I created a weapon to defend the borders of my motherland. It's not my fault that it's being used where it shouldn't be. The politicians are more to blame for this.

For a child actor, its a matter of listening, reacting, and being able to put yourself in a new place without being scared.

I was very lucky with 'Soap' and 'Who's the Boss,' which was great fun, and then went on 'Coach' and 'Everybody Loves Raymond.' I've been truly blessed, and the work has all been fun and a joy.
