I'm an obsessive hiker and I do it every day for two hours and it really helps me when it comes to learning songs or scripts.

People on both sides of any conflict believe they are right, whether it's on a TV show or in the real world.

My wife will tell you that if you feel my hands before I walk on for a performance, you could chill a bottle of wine.

We need to learn to accept and certainly mourn any harm that comes to any human being on this earth. But we also need to not be vengeful.

Health is really important to me and my family. It's something that we value and that I strive for on a daily basis. MedImmune, the makers of Flumist Quadrivalent, knew about that and knew how important health is for me, so it was a no brainer for me to collaborate with them.
