I Don’t Think The United

My First Acting Class Was Taught By A Little Known Playwright, David Mamet, Who Then Cast Me In My First Play, Opposite John Malkovich.

What I Mostly Do Is Take The Script, Analyse The Hell Out Of It, See What's In There, See What Kind Of Person I'm Dealing With, And Then Forget I'm Playing A Father And Just Play A Person Who Exemplifies All Those Things.

I Was Never Very Mature In My Relationships With Women. First Sign Of Conflict, I Was Gone.

I Don't Need The Money After 11 Years On 'frasier,' And There Aren't That Many Great Roles Onstage Left For Somebody My Age. I'm More Interested In Playing Those Roles Than I Am In Playing Bit Parts In Movies.

I Didn't Want To Be The Archetypal Sponging Brother-in-law, So I Didn't Go Into Acting When I Got To The States. I Thought, 'no, I'll Go To School And Then I'll Be An English Teacher; That'll Be Fun.' But I Was Horrible As A Teacher. As Hard As I Tried, I Just Couldn't Inspire Those Kids To Take An Interest In Milton And Shakespeare And Donne.
