I didn't think I was going to school to be a doctor - no offense, but that wasn't me.
There is no doubt in my mind that I was going to do what my father did, but it wasn't kind of a family-business thing.
My parents said, Oh, he's going to be a director someday. I wanted to be an actor.
My mother wanted me to be a concert pianist.
I was part of the generation that was supposed to become doctors.
I was told by my father nine times a day that you were going to get a job the minute you finish your studies.
I expected that most of my career would be in dramatic acting. My hero was James Dean.
I don't think it was a surprise that I ended up as an actor, and it was anything but a disappointment.
When I came out to Hollywood in 1985, I thought that I would be sitcom star. I'm a tall, skinny, goofy guy. I thought that I would make a great funny neighbor, or wacky office mate, in a sitcom.
I always ended up having the funny part in Shakespeare, but I really thought I'd be doing theater. That was my ambition for myself.
I grew up assuming that I would be in public service. I never planned to be in business.
I thought I would break the scoring record when I got to 40 goals by the age of 27 or 28, but then Fabio Capello took over and he never picked me again.
My father wanted me to become a doctor.
I will prove that a great conducting career is expecting me.
