Anytime we step out boldly to make changes, we take a chance that we might fail. But the only way to get better is to try.
The stuff I did in 'Rescue Me' was great. It gave me the opportunity to play comedy, and Denis Leary was the first one to take a chance with me. And from that experience, we had a comedy pilot that we did that I was going to play the lead in. And then 'Person of Interest' came along. They're all new experiences.
The only safe thing is to take a chance.
Do you want to be safe and good, or do you want to take a chance and be great?
Whenever I see something that looks like it could be good - whether it's on vinyl, CD or cassette - if it's not too expensive, I'll take a chance.
