I grew up loving TV so much. It was such an integral part of my youth, and I was completely an Emmy geek.

On the stage you develop a character that's different from yourself. In a film they're always saying, 'Walk over here. Say this line. Be you.'

I try to save being angry for the really important moments - for special occasions.

I can't imagine Jon Cryer performing with the New York Philharmonic isn't one of the signs of apocalypse.

When I was a little kid, all I wanted to do was to escape what I thought was the country and get to a city. Probably film and television had influenced me so much, I really thought the key to happiness was living a very artificial life in a penthouse in New York with martini glasses.

The United States are a political state, or organized society, whose end is government, for the security, welfare, and happiness of all who live under its protection.

Way back when I was working at the dump, I saw that, even when living among the trash, that some people would decide to choose joy in their lives.

Being a decorator allowed me to see what about people's environments made them happy. And what things they could do to have more light and color and joy in their daily lives.
