I want to be on a show that's as good as the one we're doing and that we get to make for many years.

If they'll have me and the show does well, I could do this another two or three years.

In my experience in series TV, if you have a good crew and a great cast, it's going to be a great group - similar to the theater where it's a bunch of people who are really talented and go to work each day and challenge each other, and if you are lucky enough to get a hit then it's five or six or seven years of this kind of work.

It's always difficult when you're on a show that goes for more than a year or a couple of years.

One of my producers said this business is like a hamster on that little wheel thing that goes around and around. You may have a great day and get great ratings, but then you've got another show to do - whatever moment of success or happiness you have you've got to keep grinding it out for the next day.

We just finished making a record. Everybody wants to play shows, so we're going to after that.

I'm a very competitive person, and I always competed with myself. Every year, I'd take six weeks with my band, crew and choreographer to put a new show together. We'd spend eight hours per day, seven days per week putting a show together to beat the last year's show.

When you start as an actor, you can only hope you'll be able to act at all - let alone on a show that lasts seven seasons.

You still have that competitive thing where you want to try to make hits. That won't go away, unless the mayor of show business says my time's up.
