breathing differences television
The difference between directing film and directing television is so stark simply because TV is a living breathing organism already when you direct an episode.
ebb-and-flow people facts
It's such a capricious, strange existence, basing your life on the whims of others, and basing your ebbs and flows of confidence and lack of confidence on the fact that people either choose you or don't.
mother girlfriend years
I was raised by a single mother and I've been in a 10-year relationship with my girlfriend. My whole life I've been surrounded by women.
kids thinking pet
I think pets are great. They're better than kids, that's for sure.
children kids thinking
I don't necessarily want kids. A lot of our friends are having children and I don't know if it's for me. I haven't come down hardcore on either side of the argument. I think when people come from a stable family having children becomes a celebration and I'm not sure it would be that way for me.
needs married feels
I don't need to be married, but I feel married.
cheater cheated
I'm not a cheater. I've never cheated in my life
live-life getting-older great-things
The great thing about getting older is living life.

I'm not gay, and I'm not a superhero
leader actors center-of-attention
It's definitely nerve-racking to be the center of attention. I'm not the kind of an actor that just craves attention 24-7 - but it's part of the deal. You're the leader on the set
horse fun athlete
Acting is sort of an extension of childhood. You get to play all of these roles and have so much fun. Playing an athlete would be so cool. Or where you get to shoot guns, ride horses. I wouldn't turn down any of that.
teacher thinking acting
I got into acting because my teachers kept nudging me into it. The power a teacher has to influence someone is so great. I can't think of a profession I have more respect for.
powerful book kids
Men ruled the roost and women played a subservient role [in the 1960s]. Working wives were a rarity, because their place was in the home, bringing up the kids. The women who did work were treated as second-class citizens because it was a male-dominated society. That was a fact of life then. But it wouldn't be tolerated today, and that's quite right in my book... people look back on those days through a thick veil of nostalgia, but life was hard if you were anything other than a rich, powerful, white male.
real real-life able
I'm able to leave Don Draper at work. I'm quite dissimilar from him in real life
