Date of Birth3 June 1964
affairs business finding hotels people perverse studios
I think the business affairs people at the studios get some kind of perverse satisfaction in finding the worst hotels for actors to stay in.
people playing
I really like playing people who are exciting to watch and who burn brightly.
people actors reason
One of the reasons a lot of actors go into the business is that for a short period of time, you get to be other people who you can only fantasize about being, by and large.
jobs years people
I couldn't do the same job for 30 years. That would make me want to kill myself. Other people do it and they're very happy doing it, but for me, that's not what I want. I like changing things, all the time.
smart people able
If you're going to lead people, you better know how to manipulate people, and you have to be pretty smart to be able to do that.
drama thinking people
One of the great things about drama is that it makes you feel like you're not a crackpot, and that there are other people who think and feel the way you do.
occupy-yourself people upset
When you're dealing with killing people and things that are upsetting, that can be a delicate place to occupy yourself for a day.
people
You know, people aren't watching a network: they're watching cable channels.
When I started acting, I used to read all the reviews.
good turning
British actors are pretty good, by and large, at turning on at 'action' and off at 'cut.'
dieting
Dieting isn't complicated: if you eat 2,000 calories, you have to burn it off; simple as that.
few tv
There are only a few TV networks that really invest in production in the way that I think they should. HBO, obviously, is one of them.
love
I love all things Apple and have done since 1996.
When you're unhappy, you tend to play up, don't you?
