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.
jobs mean smell
Well, I can do certain jobs because smells don't bother me. But that means I'm usually the one at the ranch cleaning up all the manure.
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.
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.
brother wife operations
I co-own the ranch with my brother, and he and his wife are really the backbone of the operation.
interesting people president
Playing the president is interesting because, unlike a lot of different roles, people pay so close attention to who the president is, all of them, everybody's got an opinion about the president.
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.
important theater
Theater has always been most important to my psyche.
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.
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.
