I am not a politics wonk. I like the idea of my writing reflecting more about who I am or other people.

I listen to a mixture of old jazz, contemporary, pop, some world beat stuff and various odds and ends.

I am not Spock.

Basically, I frittered away the Nineties making pop videos and being pretty self-indulgent.

I have an American passport, but I don't always remember I'm an American citizen.

I've been able to dig deeper into awareness of my own sinfulness, and take baby steps toward spiritual healing. I'm able to worship in an ancient communion full of awesome beauty, one that is now...

I don't think I would get married again; I don't know if I'm a very good candidate because of all the touring I do.

My memories mean a lot to me, and I hold them close to my heart.

I land in New York, and next day, we go to the doctor. He looks at everything, and we had sent all our tests, and he says, 'You know, it is fourth stage, and you have 30% chance of survival.'

'Rise Up' is definitely my baby. I think it was a gift because, you know, it's like God just spoke to me and wrote that song. It's very powerful.

I don't want to criticise my country, but there are times I feel Sting and myself have been treated unkindly.

I don't feel, finally, that my politics are entirely determined by the fact that I'm a gay man.

Some of my favorite music in the world is Haydn. I had a sabbatical one year and made myself one promise: to play a different Haydn piano sonata each day - they are inexhaustible treasures.

One hazard of our job on TV is people are always checking us out and noting every pound we've gained or haven't quite lost.

The notes I have made are not a diary in the ordinary sense, but partly lengthy records of my spiritual experiences, and partly poems in prose.

I'm just a middle-class farm boy from Dodge City, Kansas. And I always thought that acting was art, writing was art, music was art, painting was art, and I've tried to keep that cultural vibe to my...

I became a big Kings fan, and then later on my hometown of Ottawa got a team, so then I was very, very torn. I just love both of those teams very much.

I guess my main influences are Jesus, rock 'n' roll and ex-wives. In that order.

I was lusted after walking down the streets of New York.

I attended public school in Houston. I took piano lessons for several years, and in high school, I played trombone in the marching band. I remember especially enjoying two seasonal activities: ice...

You know, I know a lot of lifeguards. Both my parents were lifeguards at a lake in El Paso, Texas. I was a lifeguard in a swimming pool in Portland, Ore. And I have known and met and befriended a...

I always played hockey, I was always a hockey fan, but I was never bitten by the hockey bug... I never looked into playing it professionally.

I've always loved the blues, John Lee Hooker, Janis Joplin, Hendrix.

I remember all too well the premiere of Ecstasy when I watched my bare bottom bounce across the screen and my mother and father sat there in shock.

I grew up in New Jersey and never went up the Statue of Liberty.

As someone who came to New York in the 1970s, I was, like so many of my friends, a certified member of what we now call the 99 percent - and I was a lot closer to the bottom than to the top of that 99...

I can't stand on the roadside and have Pani Puri like before. But, at the same time, being an actor makes you feel special. People look up to you, want to know more about you, and shower you with so...

I don't think my father was a bad man, all in all.

So dancing was not something I had a great desire to do.

Some of the attitudes of Barney are certainly attitudes I share, but not all.
