Some quality performances and movies have a chance to be rewarded but it's not like it's a bible.

When we shoot 24 there are so many things I have to worry about from the script to technical things to my performance that I don't have a second to be bored or take anything for granted. We produce 24 hours of film a season which is like making 12 movies.

I like fantasy. I like horror science fiction because I can get avant-garde with those performances in those movies.

Yesterday morning I amused myself with an exercise of a talent I once possessed but have so neglected that my performance might almost be called an experiment. I cut out a dress for one of the women.

I turned on VH1 this morning just to get a little warm-up before I came over here and I think it's just terrific. There's so much great stuff: diverse and wonderful music good performances great looking girls great videos the whole thing.

When you hire that first person then you're a boss. You've got performance reviews. You've got complaints about not making enough money. You've got people who are just going to sell your story to the tabloids.

I remember watching the Grammys and looking at the performances and crying to my mom saying how much I wanted to be there.

Writing and singing does give me some kind of release from the demons of my past it is a therapy of sorts but to be honest my marriage played a more important role in the acceptance of myself than performance has ever done.

I'm interested in all forms of performance yet I think it's difficult to be as equally talented in all of them as they call for such different skills. At the moment I still feel I'm learning and want as much experience and variety as possible.

Leadership can't be fabricated. If it is fabricated and rehearsed you can't fool the guys in the locker room. So when you talk about leadership it comes with performance. Leadership comes with consistency.
