“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.”

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.

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.

The things I enjoy most as I watch the movie are the things that came through without even thinking.

The SG-1 franchise has been so successful for the network, that they always want to keep it open, an option to do it again in some way, whether that’s a movie or a series, or whatever.

Yeah, I’m very impressed with Lifetime, this is the first time I’ve worked with them. I really like the kind of programming that they’re into, so I’m hoping that I will.

The one we keep pitching and there are no takers is The Fabulous Baker Boys Go to Hawaii. There don’t seem to be any takers on that one!

We come in. We don’t know anybody or very few people that we work with, but the nature of the job pulls us into a sort of an intimate kind of relationship and communication and then they’re gone and it’s kind of melancholy.

We all feel really blessed to have been with my dad for these 85 years.

Yes, I took up the guitar when I was about 14 or 15, in high school.

My favorite Oscar story was a year my brother had been nominated, my whole family went.

My mom is many times responsible for getting us all together, but we trade off at each other’s houses. My brother and I are actors and are traveling a lot of our job.

But on the other hand I believe I’m a private person too, and I enjoy that aspect of my life as well.

Well, folks. That’s the greatest open in the history of television — bar none!

Married life is an existence with bars around it.

The unsaid message of that endless rack of juniors’ pushup bras?

Tattooed men who are not behind bars are either latent criminals or degenerate aristocrats.

Finding an etiolated Henry James slumped at the bar in a haze of indecision, and shooting him dead.

If the history of the American sentence were a John Ford movie, its second act would conclude with the young Ernest Hemingway walking into a saloon

For my bar mitzvah, I gave out a mix tape of ’90s grunge – if you got it now, you would think it was the ‘Singles’ soundtrack.

I watched a lot of the James Bond movies, certainly, both the old ones and the reboot with Daniel Craig. I watched a lot of the Matt Helm films with Dean Martin, which just have these great car scenes where it’s rear-projected, and they just start making martinis out of a bar in the glove compartment.
