I never really wanted to be an actor. And that was the beginning of it, I began to write things down and eventually became a writer on a television show.

I wanted to be a stage actor but I got stuck on television. It took a couple of years to get used to.

I started making movies in 1977, and I didn't even think about the idea that I would ever be on a television show. Once I finished the 'Guiding Light,' I was like, 'I'm done with television!'

I didn't really have any aspirations to do TV when I first decided to be an actor.

I never wanted to become an actor to be famous. I just wanted to be a good actor. It served me pretty well.

I remember being in college knowing I didn't want to go anymore. I wanted to try and become an actor. There is a something in me, with a risk of sounding cliche, that I just had to do it. I knew from an early age that acting was my path.

The big turn in the late '90s was that I realized I was going to be doing this for a long time. I was fairly sure I was going to be an actor for the rest of my life, which I think calmed me down.

I was very vocal about what I wanted to do at a very young age. I wanted to be inside of the television set. I didn't know being on TV was being an actor.

I didn't start out to be a movie star. I started out to be an actor.
