I don't flip. I don't even dive into a pool - straight cannonball for me. No, thanks.
Whenever you do a revival it begs the question 'why now and why here?'. I can't think of a better place to do the show than London right now, and I can't think of a better theme to do than the cost of protecting the world.
When you're writing personal stories, you have to be totally uncompromising - to the extent that you can be - about yourself. I know that if I am uber-uncompromising with myself, that gives me some latitude to write about others.
Let me just say this - sometimes being a trailblazer is highly overrated.
Matthew Lowe is one of the great water men that I know. He's a surfer, a great water polo player. I think he's half fish.
Marriage is becoming sort of fake. It's almost like a handbag. Everybody wants the newest, greatest and latest. It becomes an event, and it's definitely a status symbol in our society. I'm not saying it shouldn't be; it absolutely should be - but you shouldn't be focusing on that.
I wish I was a more religious person. I really admire Martin Sheen for his Catholicism. It's such a bedrock. I wish I had that in my life.
Like most guys, I don't come to beauty regimes naturally. I'm dragged kicking and screaming by the best in the world.
Malibu was a wellspring of counterculture group think.
My son Matthew's beloved dog is a Jack Russell. His name is Buster. Matthew picked him as a puppy, when he was tiny himself.
My thing is personal freedoms: freedoms for the individual to love whom they want, do with what they want. In fact, I want the government out of almost everything.
My parents did divorce, but my dad has always been present for me and loving me and my mom as well when she was alive.
My roles in comedies from 'Austin Powers' to 'Tommy Boy' to 'Wayne's World,' were sort of comedic 'straight man' parts. My character on 'Parks & Recreation' is the comic relief in a comedy. To play a character that appears strictly for laughs is sort of new for me and really fun.
The '90s were a time of building for me. Building a life that was sober, drained of harmful, wasteful excess and manufacturing in its place a family of my own.
