real opportunity doctors
If you do an episode about something like transverse myelitis, it's a real disease that's out there, there are a lot of people that have it, and it's hard to get funding for them because people don't know about it. There are actually a lot of doctors that don't know about it. But if you do an episode of House, all of a sudden 15 million people are hearing the words, and it's an opportunity.
hands actors
Why things get canceled or not is so unbelievably out of actors' hands that it's one of those things where you've just got to ride with it.
new-york home emotional
I lived in New York, and I was the guy who was flying home almost every week, so there was a physical exhaustion and an emotional exhaustion for me, and a need to be home more.
writing tired years
You never get tired of making money, and you never get tired of a great acting gig, a same role that you can play for years, with wonderful writing and wonderful actors.
play doctors lawyer
I don't usually get to play somebody who is, at least, nominally in charge. I'm usually playing somebody's lawyer or a doctor.
smart guy serious
Hugh Laurie was intimidating, but he's the greatest guy. He's so wonderful and smart and funny and serious, and he sets the bar high. So if I was scared, it's because I wasn't measuring up.
intimidation percent
Intimidation is 99 percent in the intimidatee's head.
space acting tone
Everybody else, they're wonderful, but [Robert] Duvall sets the tone for all of cinema acting. So just to be in his space was amazing.
jesus doors lunch
We walked out of this library building downtown, just on our way to lunch, and I was walking a few steps behind Travolta, and when he opened the door, it was as if Jesus had just walked out into the commons.
interesting directors wonderful
Steve Zaillian is just the sweetest. A very, very wonderful and interesting director.
foxes directors done
When you're not gaping at Megan Fox enough to listen to what the director's saying, you can get some work done.
way toes energy
Shia [LaBeouf] was great. He's just high energy. He's into really playing, and I had to be on my toes in a way that I wasn't necessarily expecting.
jobs fun moments
Of course, on every job there are moments where you're not having fun.
strong character strong-character
I certainly have played a lot of strong characters, and I love playing a strong character.
