bells business certainly chapel curtain district half hour lines sounds streets tune walk
Every night, half an hour before curtain up, the bells of St. Malachy's, the Actors' Chapel on New York's 49th Street, peal the tune of 'There's No Business Like Show Business.' If you walk the streets of the theatre district before a show and see the vast, enthusiastic lines it sounds like a calling: there is certainly no place like Broadway.
opportunity profile certain
You do feel a certain obligation to shows that raise your profile like 'Downton' has. But there are definitely other exciting opportunities out there.
certain love might
You can be romantically interested in someone and love them and still, I think, be really interested in things and a certain lifestyle that person might provide.
applause audiences certain entrance jerry reactions round seem seems sound vocal york
The Broadway audiences are very vocal and seem very engaged. For certain shows, especially with a show like 'The Heiress,' the audience's reactions sound like 'The Jerry Springer Show' sometimes. That seems to be a very New York thing. Oh, there's also the entrance round of applause here, which we don't get too much in London.
appeared assume certain costume dramas people rebelling spent totally type
People look at me, they know I've appeared in costume dramas and they automatically assume I must be a Tory, I must be a certain type of person. Not a lot of people would think that I spent most of my early years totally rebelling against anything I could, getting suspended from school, going on demonstrations. I was a pretty difficult teenager.

We lost a lot of high tech jobs recently. They've been replaced with service sector (lower pay) jobs.

Is it too early? I don't think so. The citizens of the United States have forgotten what happened. It's definitely a moment I'll never forget.
chivalry freedoms granted job nowadays travel
We take so many of our freedoms for granted nowadays - I can travel where I like, I can have a baby when I like, I can do any job I want - but I do think chivalry has been lost a little bit.
easy few gave looked shell
We were up 26-19, and it looked like things were clicking. But for a few minutes, we went in our little shell and gave them some easy baskets.
coming drama freedom generally happen head modern none period signing slightly successful
None of us had any idea of how successful Downton was going to be. I thought I was signing up for another period drama that had a slightly modern feel. It had a freedom about it because it was coming out of the head of Julian Fellowes. Anything could happen and generally did.

My dad's family were pretty working class, actually.
across amazed constantly goes rio suddenly
I'm amazed by just constantly - there's not a week that goes past where there's not someone in Ulan Bator or Rio De Janeiro suddenly says, 'Ooh, 'Downton' started this week.' You completely forget it's staggered across the world.

We believe he was a passenger on board the United Airlines flight. He stated that the plane was being hijacked.
again career none opened point possible quite ratings
Oh, it is quite possible that none of us in 'Downton' will ever again get the ratings this has had. But from a career point of view, it has opened so many doors.
