I used to go from one job to another. I started at seven years old in theater and used to go from one job to another.

Tom Bradford is a lot like the real me. He's a man who always put his career second to his family. As long as everything was OK at home, he was OK, too.

We wanted a pet food based on sound scientific principles and truth, not marketing hype.

It used to be said all horse players die broke - you can't beat the races. But today, with the Pick 6's and Superfectas, you can. Not that the odds aren't against you, but a good hit, and it's hard to blow that back.

I've hit the Pick 6 for a hundred thousand a couple of times. A few more for 60, 70 thousand.

I was in 27 Broadway plays in a row as a kid, and in between, I learned how to play the horses from the stagehands.

If I was good each week, my father would take me to a different pet store each Saturday. I had a snake, horny toads, turtles, lizards, rabbits, guinea pigs... I kept my alligator in the bathtub until it got too big.

My mother was aggressive - the typical stage mother.

I like to do TV series. I think they're so comfortable. You're doing the same part every week.

People don't like to feed live mice and rats to their snakes. Now we have a regular meat food that they will eat. Ninety percent of the snakes will eat this food and love it.

I've seen people that don't treat their animals well and yet their animals are still just as loving to them even though they're not treated that well. It's very hard to find that kind of loyalty and love and affection in human beings.

I love cats.
