David Eigenberg

I've had an amazing career.

You never know what's going to happen. It's kind of nice to limit your expectations so when something clicks, you go, 'Hey, that's nice. Thank you.'

I never had a kid before, and it's the best. It's something you're privileged to be part of, and my favorite things in the world are my kid and wife.

I think there's a big difference between New York and Chicago.

I never pushed the envelope of wanting people to know me, or be on the covers of magazines. I just want to enjoy what I'm doing.

You've got to be pretty mean to pick up on women who only know you from television and then cast them aside.

I'm a hard-luck kind of guy. Usually, things that I hope for don't go my way, so I'm very used to that. In fact, I expect it.

In Hollywood, they don't care about hurting anyone's feelings.

I've always tried to stay fit, but I'm a little guy. I'm 5-foot-7.

Some people plan their life out, and it occurs. Others have things they're thinking about, and things don't go that way.

You never know when your last day gig is, and if you spend your life thinking about it, you'll drive yourself nuts. But I try not to foster or exhibit any desperation.

I obviously spent a lot of time in New York City, and I loved it, but Chicago has a very different history than New York City does.
