Born to Run' was a mixture of things but mostly about youth and fantasies.

Sopranos' was a fascinating moment, just catching our whole culture by surprise, a fun ride to be on while I'm learning the craft.

As an actor just learning the craft, you literally do a scene with Jimmy Gandolfini, and you walk away a better actor.

I did 10 years on 'Sopranos,' but the whole craft of acting is relatively new to me. I'm still learning that, and I'll be learning that forever.

When I was doing 'Family Ties,' I was not quite that mellow as a real father. In fact, my wife used to call me Captain Von Trapp from 'The Sound of Music.' I tended to be a little more authoritarian. I had been a very disciplined child myself, so I made the mistake of thinking one size fits all.

A child born to a Black mother in a state like Mississippi... has exactly the same rights as a white baby born to the wealthiest person in the United States. It's not true, but I challenge anyone to say it is not a goal worth working for.

My social circle, my best friends, are all people that I met at UCB.

I only tour in short bursts, I'm only ever away from my family and three daughters for a month or two.
