dad numbers incredibles
I also turn down what's probably a good amount of coinage to be made out of playing dads, an incredible number of obnoxious dad.
thinking america patterns
There's definitely a pattern of great British shows that get reinvented in America and do really well here, but I think 'Torchwood' is a bit different. It's more of a hybrid that doesn't exist as a reinvention.
panic moments crisis
I like those crisis moments - if you're on top of it and don't get pulled under by panic and fear, it's a very bonding thing.
sleep romantic-love feelings
Truthfully, I almost avoided 'While You Were Sleeping,' because I find those romantic comedies kind of precious, and they're full of lines that leave you feeling a little bewildered when you say them.
fun sleep romantic-love
With While You Were Sleeping, it was so much fun and such a Cinderella story, that I didn't want to do another romantic comedy. I wanted to do the opposite.
hypocrisy towns idyllic
Rural towns aren't always idyllic. It's easy to feel trapped and be aware of social hypocrisy.
brother wife operations
I co-own the ranch with my brother, and he and his wife are really the backbone of the operation.
fall play smell
I was 21, and rehearsing a play, took a fall and was in a coma for a few days. And when I recovered, I'd lost my sense of smell completely.
new-york towns small-town
I was brought up in a very small town in upstate New York.
popular-vote political want
The writers are pretty political and they want to get as big an audience as they can - they want the popular vote.
lines remember moments
There's a point you get to on the stage where you're not remembering lines but living them, and you reach this pure moment which, really, is more intense than what you can achieve in life.
money load
Listen! We're not just doing this for the money! We're doing this for a S*** LOAD of money!
aids becomes gay liberal novelist playwright realize series starting weird wrong
I'm a playwright and a novelist and a journalist. It's a weird Salinger-Mailer-Miller combination. When the series starts, he--like a lot of liberal New Yorkers--are starting to realize something is very wrong in the gay community. My investigation into what becomes called AIDS is going to be a big part of the show.
trying remember projects
I do take lots of time off between projects, but when the right thing comes along, I don't like to turn it down, I've been doing this for a decade, and I remember what it was like when I started. You spend maybe five percent of your time actually doing it, and the rest of the time, you're trying to get that five percent.
