It’s always difficult when you’re on a show that goes for more than a year or a couple of years.

I need some challenges in love or I’m bored.

I do have a lot of Australian friends.

As a kid I was always a bit of a clown, a performer.

My kids think I’m old and over the hill.

I’ve always been a shy person.

I don’t like fancy fiddly girlie stuff.

Well, capitalism is going to grow and grow. The nature of it is that the guy who has the most poker chips on the table has more leverage than everyone else. He can eventually outbluff...

The French have the reputation of being arrogant. I don’t think it’s arrogance but a certain authenticity.

I love con-men characters in film.

I’m pretty good at gardening. It consumes my time, and it feels like I’m doing something constructive.

I’ve seen the odd tarot reader and had my palm read in various countries and explained to me in many strains of broken English. Did I believe a word? To be honest, I didn’t understand...

Every TV show is a crapshoot, really. But every once in a while, a show gets anointed as ‘the show.’

I’m a big fan of Alan J. Pakula’s films like ‘All the President’s Men’, ‘The Parallax View,’ and ‘Klute.’ I’m a big fan of those movies.
