mother dad thinking
I've hung out at dozens of playgrounds, bored out of my mind, with not even a look of comfort from disapproving mothers all around me. Either they think I'm a pedophile or a deadbeat dad. That's what I get for being a single dad - suspicious looks at the playground.
dad parent mum
My mum's parents were from Ireland, my dad's mum was American-Irish.
tv-shows actors tvs
I don't know why British actors are getting big parts in American TV shows. Maybe it's because we're cheap.
beautiful people wire
I'm only stopped by people in uniform, whether it's customs people, janitors, or the FBI - they all watch 'The Wire.' Sadly, beautiful, glamorous women don't know anything about it.
meaningful pain kids
People are born, they have a limited amount of time going around thinking life is dandy but then, inevitably, tragedy strikes and they realize life equals loss! The whole point of the game is to minimize the pain caused by that equation! Now some people do it by having kids, or making money, or taking up coin collecting, and others do it by getting wasted.
looks pieces suits
I look ridiculous in a three-piece suit - I'm too fat.
thinking faces funny-face
I think I've got a funny face.
drama america people
I went to America to get away from constantly being cast in costume dramas, playing posh people.
crude cooks
I'm a rather crude cook.
years next auditions
If you do an American TV series, before the audition you sign away the next five years of your life.
fun people fans
I'm not a great fan of green screen. It's not much fun for actors. It's great for directors and technical people and cameramen.
thinking careers wire
No, I don't think 'The Wire' screwed up my career at all.
thinking people satan
People seem to think I'm Satan.
men world best-dressed
Prince Charles is the best-dressed man in the world.
