“And when I’ve been away from my family and friends, I have felt good hearing some of those old songs.”

Sometimes that can be unfortunate because the work call is pretty intense and the preparation for it.

I have a movie coming out that I did with Misha Barton, called Don’t Fade Away.

And then I got into sports and gave my guitar to my brother Jeff who was just a little kid at that time.

But when I’m done with the job I can take it off pretty easy, it’s like a suit of clothes, put on something else.

I’ve done a number of these My Name is Earl shows. I play Earl’s father. It’s a half-hour comedy. And I’ll be doing some more of those.

Part of the western movement is this desire that we, Americans, have to keep pressing on.

I also like to garden. I grow things, vegetables, flowers… I particularly like orchids. I raise orchids.

I was coming into a situation I didn’t really know much about, and now, after a couple of years, the character’s kind of mellowed and gotten comfortable working at the command center and very comfortable with his troops.

On the other side, if Im playing a good guy, then he has some problems too. Thats what makes people interesting, in life and in fiction.

I like to try to make the characters I play be as human as possible.

I think, I would guess most people keep secrets.

If your focus is there, then the actual doing of the job will be fun and enjoyable. But if you’re so involved in trying to be interesting and a character and everything when you’re not working, it can get in the way and people get goofed up.

As an actor, I travel around a lot and live in a lot of hotels, and many times I’ve been in a town where the only entertainment to be had is what you find in the hotel bar or lobby.

Second, this epic tale allows the audience to actually listen to the Native Americans and receive their wisdom.

I appeared several times on Atlantis while I was doing Stargate. And they’ve mentioned to me before that they’d like me do some, but right now I have nothing specific to report.

My favorite roles usually have to do with the story, if it’s a good story I usually enjoy doing the character.

….there is a difference between hearing and listening. You can’t always help what you hear. But you can control what holds your interest, what you choose to dwell on.

One of the drawbacks of English is you can’t spell things by hearing them.

If I was hearing something I couldn’t do, I would figure out how to do it.

It was nice doing something and hearing someone go, ‘Hey, you’re good at this.’

He who has ears for hearing, let him listen

I’m skeptical of passive learning. If you don’t write down what you’re hearing and learning, what the odds you remember it?

I have never yet failed to get a hearing (with a Hindu) if I talk to them about forgiveness of sins and peace and rest in your heart.

Hearing the record and seeing the response is affirming that it was the right time and right choice.
