Treat Williams

This is the kind of work I've aspired to my whole career.

I have a beautiful wife and two beautiful children, and every day I am paid to do what I love.

I don't usually experience that because there are few people who intimidate me, but Woody was one of them.

And I fly planes all the time. And helicopters.

Yes, I am a pilot. I am a flight instructor and a commercial pilot.

Honestly, I didn't know I was a role model.

It's exciting to do something like this because usually what happens in theater is that, after the first or second reading of a play, it falls apart completely and the rehearsal process is such that you begin to pick up the pieces and put it back together again.

Also, if you're in a TV show that does turn out to be very successful, you then can do whatever you want to do in theater for a very long time.

I'm a partner in a company called Helicopter Services and Instruction out of New Jersey.

The wonderful thing about Food for Thought is that it lets you keep your hand in theater and be in front of a live audience without a commitment of six months, or even three months.

But I like to be thought of as a good father and a good husband.

I don't think of myself as a role model.

I think families find a dynamic that works for them.

Well, I've got two small children and this is a very important time for me to be around them.

Sounds so silly, but I want to accomplish getting my kids through college.

My children are 10 and three, and the longing and the need for them is incredibly powerful.

I couldn't imagine my life being any more successful than it is now.

I define success as being comfortable with yourself and your life. And that is about as good as it gets, really.

The day my son was born my life changed completely.

I just love working with actors in general.
