“There are plenty of examples of really well-executed shows you could look at and say, 'Well, clearly this show will have an audience; why wouldn't it?' And for whatever reason, it just doesn't catch on. So you never know going in.”
“I've worked with Filipino technicians, and they are, I think, among the best. I'm looking forward to visiting the Philippines, maybe for a vacation or to shoot a movie.”
“Any time that we read a script and the 'Leverage' team has to infiltrate a place, assume identities, or become con artists ourselves to take down the really bad con artists, it's always fun to do that.”
“With 'Kidnapped,' there didn't seem to be a sure hand guiding it: everything had to be run-up-the-pole, so to speak, and there seemed to be a large committee, every day fighting about what the show was about.”
“There's probably a little more creative freedom in cable versus network, a little less of a committee looking over everyone's shoulder, but it depends on the network; it depends on the show; it depends on who the head writer or show runner is and what track record they have.”
“בין הקטע הקטן בטלוויזיה שעשיתי בגיל חמש וכשהפכתי לשחקן מקצועי בגיל שמונה עשרה, התרחקתי מאור הזרקורים, אז הייתי כמו כל ילד טיפוסי שהלך לבית הספר.”
“סיימתי לצלם את הסרט הראשון שלי, 'אנשים פשוטים', אבל לא ידעתי אם משחק זה מה שאני רוצה לעשות בחיי.”
“במשחק אתה חש סיפוק... אם אתה מסוגל לעשות הופעה אמינה ולגעת בקהל. אותו דבר לגבי בימוי. אם אתה מסוגל לשאוב את המיטב מהשחקנים שלך, אז אתה ממלא את תפקידך כבמאי.”
“זה מאוד מספק אותי כשחקן להשלים מסע עם דמות ולהמשיך לעלילה אחרת לחלוטין.”
“I was 19 when I got my first passport as an adult. I had moved from California to New York City and was living out of a suitcase, staying with friends. I'd just finished filming my first movie, 'Ordinary People,' but I didn't know whether acting was what I wanted to do with my life.”
“In acting, you are fulfilled if you give justice to your role... if you are able to do a credible performance and touch the audience. Same with directing. If you are able to draw out the best from your actors, then you fulfill your job as a director.”
“When I was doing 'Ordinary People' and 'Taps,' I never wondered if it would have a lasting impression. I was just wanting to make the best film we could and do my part in that and be true to what my responsibilities were.”
“Even in the off season, people are streaming the show or buying the DVD sets, and new audience comes to 'Leverage' every year we've been doing it.”
“I saw a guy being really abusive to his girlfriend. She was asking people to help, but no one would. When he grabbed her, I tried to separate them, but he turned on me. I punched him and knocked him down. It wasn't a scandal; I was just doing what anybody should.”
“I've enjoyed watching 'Lost.' I'm a big fan of 'Mad Men.'”
“I remember, when we started 'Leverage,' we were all in Chicago, and I read the script for the pilot and thought, 'Boy, this is just a real interesting place to begin a character.' I had to figure out how to go about playing someone who had hit rock bottom.”
“A film has a sort of life over time, whereas a TV show comes up in your living room, and it's immediate, and people write about it.”
“I grew up as normally as any other kid. Between that small TV part I did at five and when I turned professional actor at 18, I stayed away from the limelight, so I was just like any typical kid who went to school.”
“Here's one thing I can't understand: people who are friends with their exes.”
“Treat Williams and I have been friends for years. To finally get to work together was great.”
