“As a kid, Terry Bradshaw didn't amaze me. My hero was Steelers backup ...” — Stephen Rodrick Quote

As a kid, Terry Bradshaw didn't amaze me. My hero was Steelers backup Terry Hanratty, who nabbed two Super Bowl rings while completing three passes.

The only reason baseball's numerical touchstones have any significance is that most players - even the game's greats - peter out just barely before they reach them.

Occasionally, a young catcher is born with a backup's soul. Bob Montgomery was on the Red Sox opening day roster for the entire 1970s, yet he never had more than 254 at-bats in a season.

Maybe it's impossible to spend time with Patrick Stewart and not have the conversation move to the extraterrestrial.

It never ceases to amaze me. I'll be in a bank and I think the person staring at me is going to say, 'I saw you in 'Flying Doctors,' or whatever. But instead they say, 'You're from 'The Sound of Music.'

Hridaan, my younger son, has this unique talent of drawing incredible doodles and anime. Watching him draw soothes my mind. He is so detailed and focused that it never fails to amaze us.

It never ceases to amaze me what it takes to develop and bring to mass production a product.

I don't take myself seriously in the slightest, so it does amaze me that I've ended up being in all these very dark, sinister plays. But I love it because, touch wood, I'm lucky enough not to have that level of darkness in my life.
