I always treat all the jobs I do as an acting class.
I grew up in Chicago, so I've always been a Bears fan. Dad used to take me to Bears games and Cubs games. My brother used to ride me over to Lake Forest College on his Honda Supersport and we'd watch the Bears practice. I remember those guys out there as monsters - they were the biggest things I've ever seen!
I just went and saw 'Crazy, Stupid, Love.' Julianne Moore - I've been in love with her since 'Boogie Nights.' But also, 'The Big Lebowski.'
We ended up moving out to Texas. We live outside of Austin. We've got a couple horses, we've got three miniature donkeys, we've got four dogs. Miniature donkeys are very warm, loving animals.
One way I differ from my character, Coach Taylor, is that I never would have taken this faraway job without my wife's consent.
I don't think I had a script on 'King Kong.' But usually you read a script and then you go and audition for it. It's rare when there's no script. I sort of like the latter better, because I'm more successful at it.
If you're not really having a good time, it's not worth it.
I was never upset that I did not get an Emmy. That I did get an Emmy nomination, I couldn't be happier and prouder.
I've stopped racing to get to the red light.
I work six months and get three or four with the family. I've stopped racing to get to the red light.
What I do is not rocket science, but I sure do love it.
Oh, man, if in real life I was as cool and suave as Coach Taylor and had all the answers, things would be easier.
Thank goodness I've saved my money.
High school was interesting, because I went from a public school middle school to an academy where the first year we were doing Latin, chemistry, biology. I mean, I was woefully unprepared for the type of study.
