I Was Going To Be Living There

I Belonged To Stratford Children's Theater When I Was A Boy Growing Up In Manchester. Even Then, I Was Always Doing Character Parts.

I'm A Dog Person, I've Had Dogs All My Life. But You See, It's Not Really A Dog. It's More Like A Little Robot. It's An Actor. It Displays No Emotion Whatsoever. I Swear That Dog Doesn't Know Any Of Us Even Though We've Done Five Seasons Of Frasier.

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 Don't Much Care To Watch Myself. There Are Still Probably 50 Or 60 Episodes Of 'frasier' That I Have Never Seen.

The First Play I Did Was 'philadelphia Here I Come.' Can You Imagine That? I Am 37 Years Old I Am Doing My Second Professional Play And I Am On Stage With John Malkovich. Joan Allen, Laurie Metcalf And Gary Sinise. One Huge Name After Another. I Was Terrified And Petrified, Could Hardly Get A Word Out Of My Mouth.
