“Tom Cavanagh is fantastic.”
“I knew I wanted to be an actor in first grade.”
“Certainly 'Lonesome Dove' would be way hard now, because, I mean, back then I wasn't married. I didn't have kids.”
“That's an amazing feeling, to walk onstage, and you're not thinking about anything, you're not thinking about your lines or what you're supposed to do - your body, your brain knows, so there's freedom. There's not fear, there's not nerves.”
“Not a big sci-fi guy.”
“We're definitely hoping 'Travelers' attracts more than just solely the sci-fi audience, too. There are so many elements here. I think this will be a show that women like, because there's a lot of unlikely romance in it between people who were in love 300 years from now, but they're in different bodies.”
“Will Truman will be on my epitaph, but as an actor, I have to challenge myself.”
“I did my first musical in 4th grade as Huck Finn. By 11th grade, I was starring in 'Godspell' and 'Pippin' and pretending to be Che in 'Evita' in my bedroom. Singing has always been a huge part of me.”
“I know where TNT's sweet spot is, and when I read 'Perception,' I thought, 'This is a chance to play a fascinating, fun, challenging character but still within the realm of something that will sit very well with 'The Closer' and 'Major Crimes' and the other shows there.'”
“Particularly in television, we can stereotype ourselves. You realize that we all have a lot of voices in our head. We have angry voices, we have voices of doubt, and we have moments of strength.”
“Most people, if you live in a big city, you see some form of schizophrenia every day, and it's always in the form of someone homeless. 'Look at that guy - he's crazy. He looks dangerous.' Well, he's on the streets because of mental illness. He probably had a job and a home.”
“We didn't, with 'Will & Grace,' set out to change the gay world. We just set out to be funny.”
“I loved working with Cary Elwes, who is in 'The Princess Bride', one of my favorite films. He's a great guy.”
“When I was 16, I'd ping pong between AC/DC and Barry Manilow without any sense of irony.”
“I hope that dog lovers around the world will support the Cruelty Free International global campaign to end the use of dogs in outdated and cruel experiments.”
“With these scripts and these writers, so much of it is done for me. Because we don't just throw words around: we make sure the audience understands.”
“I'm still mad at Josh Charles for dying on 'The Good Wife.'”
“On Netflix and other streaming services, they're taking risks that are based on 'Come with us! Come with us!' and the audience does.”
“I saw 'Othello' with Christopher Plummer and James Earl Jones.”
“Growing up, my father was a financial analyst for an oil company. He was just a regular dad. And when I would say, 'Hey, come see my play,' he'd say, 'Sure.' He'd see one, 'Oh, good play' - you know, very typical dad reaction.”
