You crave winning and fear losing instead of just doing. To succeed you must remove your self-imposed limitations.
I don't much care to watch myself. There are still probably 50 or 60 episodes of 'Frasier' that I have never seen.
I don't need the money after 11 years on 'Frasier,' and there aren't that many great roles onstage left for somebody my age. I'm more interested in playing those roles than I am in playing bit parts in movies.
I like to learn the lines and not get any precontrived things in my head about the part. Just get on stage and see what the other actors are doing, and respond to them as honestly as I can.
I believe in divine inspiration and things like that and I really relish a good, attentive, participating audience.
The first play I did was 'Philadelphia Here I Come. ' Can you imagine that? I am 37 years old I am doing my second professional play and I am on stage with John Malkovich. Joan Allen, Laurie Metcalf and Gary Sinise. One huge name after another. I was terrified and petrified, could hardly get a word out of my mouth.
My first acting class was taught by a little known playwright, David Mamet, who then cast me in my first play, opposite John Malkovich.
I like to think of myself as a pure rebel; A radical thinker on a musical level.
One thing is certain: the humility of faith, if it is followed by the proper consequences-by the acceptance of the work and sacrifice demanded by our providential task-will do far more to launch us into the full current of historical reality than the pompous rationalizations of politicians who think they are somehow the directors and manipulators of history.
I've been very successful at negotiating debates.
I loafe and invite my soul.
