- Tony: (upon being asked if he ever hears his father in his voice when parenting) Oh, that happens to me all the time! Happens to me with my children. My father's still alive and I see him playing with the grandchildren, in a way that he never played with us. And yet, in some ways, I see him playing with us, because he doesn't have the disciplinary responsibilities, being a grandparent.

- Tony: (about his character on "Resurrection Blvd.")It is a fun character [to play] because he's always got an edge. He's always gotten up on the wrong side of the bed. It's been delightful for me. It's been great.
