I'm an obsessive hiker and I do it every day for two hours and it really helps me when it comes to learning songs or scripts.

People on both sides of any conflict believe they are right, whether it's on a TV show or in the real world.

My wife will tell you that if you feel my hands before I walk on for a performance, you could chill a bottle of wine.

We need to learn to accept and certainly mourn any harm that comes to any human being on this earth. But we also need to not be vengeful.

We're living in a time when parenting is not at all mirroring the way I was parented. For me, I just followed my parents around on their errands; when they were busy on the phone, I was quiet. It's a different kettle of fish these days: They run the house, and you listen to their music, and you go to their appointments.

It was a very scary place to be. I don't think any mother or father would like to have their five year old wandering alone in the slums and train stations of Calcutta.

One truth I've learned as a father: Children want presence more than presents. They don't want to read about you; they want you.

I felt a responsibility to Simon and to our kids to be able to live with integrity and not have some strange split psychology of 'This is who my dad is at home, and this is who he is to the public.'
