I would hate to be a bitter, aging actor.

Anything that triggers good memories can't be all bad.

I come to Comic-Con in San Diego because this is where those fans are - those to whom I owe the longevity of my career.

I think it's an actor's job, if you can, to keep working and to keep using that muscle. First of all, you've got to pay the bills, but it also helps you develop.

One goes through school, college, medical school and one's internship learning little or nothing about goodness but a good deal about success.

For true success ask yourself these four questions: Why? Why not? Why not me? Why not now?

Well, I was lucky enough to be involved in about 19 failures at an early age, so I'm realistic about the success I'm having and how quickly it can go away. What's important is to be smart about it.

If I write a book where all I've ever experienced is success, people won't take a positive lesson from it. In being candid, I have to own up to my own failures, both in my marriage and in my work environment.
