For athletes, the Olympics are the ultimate test of their worth.

You give up your childhood. You miss proms and games and high-school events, and people say it's awful... I say it was a good trade. You miss something but I think I gained more than I lost.

In L.A., we had a game room with a new sensation called Pac-Man.

One of the first things I learned about acting was, the only person you compete against is yourself.

I didn't want to be famous. I just wanted to earn enough money to have a nice life and enjoy acting.

I always dreamed of writing in an orchestral context. But when you finish a piece, you want to hear it. So we played everything with Phish.
