Baseball happens to be a game of cumulative tension but football basketball and hockey are played with hand grenades and machine guns.

Bjorn was a different breed I threw my best material at him but he would never smile but that added to the charm when he played me and Mac. We were going nuts and losing our mind and he was sitting back like he was on a Sunday stroll.

Country music in the mid-'90s was a big influence on my career and I played all the songs that are referenced in ''94' back in my club days. Joe Diffie was rocking a sick mullet and he was hotter than ever... just putting out monster hit after monster hit. It totally takes me back to those days and it makes me smile every time I hear it.

War is a game that is played with a smile. If you can't smile grin. If you can't grin keep out of the way till you can.

I often say the last role I played that really touched me and where I was able to access what I really am was Bonnie which is kind of sad when you think how early in my career that was.

It's harder and harder to make a well-done romantic comedy these days because the conventions have been so played out.

I'd like to be played as a child by Natalie Wood. I'd have some romantic scenes as Audrey Hepburn and have gritty black-and-white scenes as Patricia Neal.

As far as the lack of hits goes I think perhaps it's because I've played a lot of different roles and have not created a persona that the public can latch on to. I have played everything from psychopathic killers to romantic leading men and in picking such diverse roles I have avoided typecasting.

The message of music was also the first thing what I learned from my first teacher. She was an organist too and she was very devoted to what she played so she had a respect for every piece and she felt that she is not allowed to add something of her own.

I played it right because that's what you're supposed to do - play it right and with respect.
