I don't want to say never, but I hope I don't become that 'take me seriously now' guy.
When my mother got home from work, she would take me to the movies. It was her way of getting out, and she would take me with her. I'd go home and act all the parts. It had a tremendous influence on my becoming an actor.
I am indebted to [my grandmothers] always for cradling me in the heart of Christ and encouraging my passion to press towards the mark of the high calling on my life, wherever that takes me.
I remember Gale Gordon was in the pilot [of Hi Honey, I'm Home], and it was one of my very first professional gigs without having an adult take me to the job.
I am totally fascinated by people and our history as I understand and continue to explore it. People have so much to give and so far to go and yet we have given and gone a great distance. It's really just interesting to ask: why not? And see where that takes me.
I do all my own make-up, it takes me 10 minutes.
My mother used to take me to flea markets in my stroller, and I would just rummage through the piles. You've got to dig through the overstuffed racks that everyone else just walks by. It's the only way to find the cool stuff.
I need to behave in a way that will cause people to take me seriously.
Being Irish is very much a part of who I am. I take it everywhere with me.
Sometimes I take a while to get ready to go out. It's not excessive, but it takes me some time to find clean clothes that match.
If you're the type of person who has to fulfill your dreams, you've gotta be resourceful to make sure you can do it. I came out to California when I was 21, thinking my New York credentials would take me all the way. I came back home a year later all dejected and a failure.
My parents used to take me to the pet department and tell me it was a zoo.
This, to me, is the ultimately heroic trait of ordinary people; they say no to the tyrant and they calmly take the consequences of this resistance.
It may take me a long time before I feel 'ready' to tour as a lead singer. I may never be ready... we'll just have to see.

I find it hard to write poems in reaction to world/national events unless there's a way in that's so evident to me that I can't deny the urge to write about such events. It takes me a while to gather the evidence, you know?
God says, "there's nothing you can do to be accepted, trust me and and let me change you." And at the end of the day, acceptance isn't about what I do, or what I don't do. Acceptance is about me trusting God to take me exactly as I am and take me to something different. And I think that's what we should have for people.
I will not write a lame follow-up. It could take me 20 years. But I will never turn in a book that I'm not happy with.
I grew up in Chicago, so I've always been a Bears fan. Dad used to take me to Bears games and Cubs games.
