One of the PRINCIPAL GOALS in my life has been to avoid embarrassing my children by doing the job I do. I hope I've managed to do that, and I hope that, with the job I'm in now, they are, if not PROUD, at least unembarrassed by it. I must say, my three are most agreeable children, who do nothing but DELIGHT me.

When I was a kid, it was ALWAYS very EMBARRASSING for me if I WET the BED - I was 5 years old. I didn't want my parents or my brothers to find out because they'd bust my chops to no end.

My musical KNOWLEDGE is so bad it's embarrassing. When COMPOSERS discuss MUSIC with someone as primitive as myself, they have to talk about it in TERMS of senses and emotion, rather than keys and tempo.

In movies, you get to explore parts of yourself that in real life, people shy away from, like LOOKING stupid or EMBARRASSING yourself or getting too ANGRY, anything inappropriate. As an ACTOR, you walk into those moments.

Most FRIENDLY fire incidents aren't investigated PROPERLY because of neglect or a NATURAL INCLINATION to cover up the embarrassing fact that they killed one of their own.

I did a commercial when I was, LIKE, 5 or 6 years OLD for... what was it called?... Cabbage Patch Kids! That was the FIRST THING I ever did. Little BIT embarrassing.
