To my fellow nominees, whoever they are - I'm not that familiar with their work, I just want to say, there's always next year. Except, you know, for Ray Romano,

I was one of those people who put too much emphasis on work and career and material possessions, and it took its toll on all my relationships, on my physical health, my emotional and mental health.

I come from a really big family, my father was a businessman and what he always instilled in us was to be your own boss. My father built up his business, and he was by no means a rich man, but he figured out how to work four-and-a-half days a week.

I just want to say there's always next year, except for Ray Romano.

I've sort of been able to expand the playing field a little bit, I think it's long overdue. But I still feel like I have a lot of dragons to slay as an actor and I want to keep doing that,

[In a mild surprise, Tony Shalhoub was honored as best actor in a musical or comedy TV series for his title role in] Monk. ... God bless the planet earth.
