nice levels tables
I like the level of fame that I have. You get nice tables in restaurants sometimes, but fame isn't something that I find comfortable.
dealing dialogue drama family imagination internal jesus literally people talking
It's a family drama dealing with these people and about their lives. Talking to Jesus, it's really kind of what Daniel's imagination of what talking to Jesus really would be like, and it's fraught with all of Daniel's limitations. . . . It's literally the internal dialogue of Daniel.
fathers roles
I want to do a lot more roles like I did in 'This Is My Father,'
almost comedy coming dime episodes flip quite serious straight
It can flip on a dime from being almost farce-like to being quite serious and then back. That's what a lot of us like. I would say it's a comedy more than a drama. But then there are some episodes that are coming up that are straight drama.
annual bit call funny high house ireland northern spent steve supposed three time
I've spent a lot of time with Steve, from Northern Ireland, to Sarajevo, to Utah, but probably most memorably, to our annual New Year's pilgrimages to our house in High Falls, where we have what we call in Ireland 'a bit of a piss-up' for three days. I know it's probably the time that I'm supposed to tell a funny story or two about Steve ... because he's such a funny man, but they're private. You're not going to get them.

Paul sometimes would be a little bit annoying to me, because I'd be behind the camera on a scene I wasn't in, looking at the clock and going, 'Come on, we've got to move on,'
wholesome
I think it's a pretty down-the-middle, wholesome show.
deep himself journey product question rocky spiritual
He's very much a product of the times. I think his spiritual journey is rocky but strong. I think he allows himself to question what's going on. But I think he has a deep and abiding faith.
christ daniel trying
It is Daniel trying to think 'WWCD' -- what would Christ do. What would Christ say?
bit good nice social
That was a nice benefit, to have a real bit of social good come out of doing the film,
love
It's a kind of star-crossed 'Romeo and Juliet'-type love story, where these two were desperately in love with each other, but everyone around them doesn't want them to be together,
laughing paul
Paul would be laughing with extras and saying, 'Yes, and then we could do that,' and, 'Let's try this,' and I'm like, 'OK, but we've got to go!'
pacing
When I read the script, I just started pacing back and forth, laughing. I thought, 'I could see myself doing this.' And it's set in New York? That's it.
interview meditate quotes talk
Some actors actually think about what they're going to talk about during the interview - they read up and meditate and plan quotes and get all inspired. It's very smart, but it's so planned. I never think to do that.
