[in response to the question, “Do you feel like a Marine?” on Major Dad (1989) during an on set 1992 interview by the Department of the Navy’s, “Navy News This Week”] It’s easy to put the uniform on and pretend, but earning the damn thing is a whole different story.

[on growing up watching and loving horror films] – Growing up I loved those films like “The Exorcist” or “The Omen” with Lee Remick. The acting was terrific, so I kept watching even though it scared the crap out of me. If you didn’t sit through those things, you were a wimp.

I think comedy is so specific, so hard. I’d audition for comedies and think, ‘I can’t pull this off.’

Born: August 19, 1963 in Cypress, California, USA

[on starring in Full House (1987)] The whole time I was on it, I wished I was on another show, I’m not gonna lie to you. But I look back on it fondly, and I’m proud of it. Was it Seinfeld (1989), Friends (1994), Mary Tyler Moore (1970)? No. Was it a heartwarming show you could watch with your kids? Yes. And there’s nothing wrong with that.

Born: August 19, 1969 in Williamstown, Massachusetts, USA

When I did ‘Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip’ I would look over and see Aaron Sorkin pacing around in the corner of the stage, mumbling to himself. I thought, Well, he’s crazy. And then I realized what he was actually doing was playing out the next week’s scenes as he was writing them. And that was intriguing to me. So now I’ve become one of the people that mumbles in the corner of the room.

While it was nice working with a lot of those people, ultimately it was unsatisfying to play a victim, and I realized I couldn’t do it anymore. It had to stop.

[re new season of Saturday Night Live (1975)] I think, in a certain sense, everyone that’s new is doing well. I have nothing to compare it to, but it certainly feels like there’s been a sense of excitement all through this season.
