Quotes
"A career in showbiz is like a distance run. You have to have patience and pace yourself."—Tate Donovan"Why do I run? It's the best form of exercise. It's totally the core of being in shape. I really feel so good anytime after the first mile. You start [fantasizing]. You start thinking about things. You start mulling over problems you have. It's a wonderful meditation of sorts."—Tate Donovan
