For the first time in a while, I must be honest, I really genuinely look forward to coming to work every day.
— Treat Williams
Sounds so silly, but I want to accomplish getting my kids through college.
Honestly, I didn't know I was a role model.
Robert Treat Paine was a signer of the Declaration of Independence.
I define success as being comfortable with yourself and your life. And that is about as good as it gets, really.
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.
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.
I don't usually experience that because there are few people who intimidate me, but Woody was one of them.
I think families find a dynamic that works for them.
This is the kind of work I've aspired to my whole career.
But I like to be thought of as a good father and a good husband.
I just love working with actors in general.
And I fly planes all the time. And helicopters.
I have a beautiful wife and two beautiful children, and every day I am paid to do what I love.
Well, I've got two small children and this is a very important time for me to be around them.
I'm a partner in a company called Helicopter Services and Instruction out of New Jersey.
I am a great believer that what makes our show different is the humor.
The day my son was born my life changed completely.
Bambi can't act. Bambi had major attitude.
I don't think of myself as a role model.
I am very proud of my name. My full name is Richard Treat Williams.
Yes, I am a pilot. I am a flight instructor and a commercial pilot.
I couldn't imagine my life being any more successful than it is now.
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.
Basically that was the moment when I thought I'd like to do this forever. I never changed my mind.
My children are 10 and three, and the longing and the need for them is incredibly powerful.
