I'm an actor who plays an intriguing character, not a political pundit.

I was fascinated by a compelling character embroiled in a controversial topic that told the story from a different point of view.

It's not easy to part with the trophies. However, I do need to have some long-term financial security for those close to me.

I'm amazed that years after I stopped playing tennis, people still recognize me in restaurants and ask for my autograph.

In New England, I learned so much about football. I always thought I was a smart player, even though I never thought about anything but the six inches in front of my face. In New England, I was forced to learn so many schematic concepts.

With any kind of artistic thing, it's a muscle, like any athlete, and the moment you're not doing it, you lose all confidence. That's why I'm terrible with down time.

You can't explain the feeling of singing hit songs to an audience - it's like being a genuine sports star at the peak of their powers.

Biggest influence is my parents. It's funny but my mom was the first one that allowed me to play tackle football. My dad was not ready to let me play yet. She definitely was the one who allowed me to do it. Obviously my dad taught me to throw and be a quarterback.
