I Think The Democratic Party

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.

'frasier' Was A Classy Gig. I Didn't For One Minute Think It Was Less Prestigious Or Artistic Than Doing A Play.

I Took The Fear Of Marriage From My Parents' Relationship, Because I Didn't Want To End Up In A Relationship Like That, Whereas My Brothers And Sisters Learnt A Lesson From It And Made Sure They Didn't Carry It On Into Their Own Marriages.

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.

So Much Luck! I'm Not Putting Myself Down, I'm Not Saying I Don't Have Talent - I Must Have, To Have Got This Far - But I Honestly Believe That Some Of The Greatest Actors In America Are Tending Bar And Waiting Tables And Driving Taxis, And It Will Never Happen For Them.
