I've worked in the theater, television, and films. A five-hour TV series is certainly more time than a character I'd be playing in a film.

If you look in real life, it is very hard to describe people as good people, bad people, heroes or villains. People aren't bad people. They all have their justifications.

My thing is, I like playing guys who have a really interesting internal monologue.

If you're very clearly good or you're very clearly bad, then there isn't that much internal dilemma going on, and that's not necessarily as interesting to play.

I don't usually like talking about acting or what my process is, and all those kinds of things, because I don't necessarily think it's helpful to talk about how I do my job.

I went to an all boys' school in South London and the only god was sport.

I'm part of that generation that grew up watching TV, and being an actor was all about being on TV or being in films.

I'm not setting 'Jericho' up to be anything other than what it is, which is, you know, a piece of good, well thought-out, well put-together TV and entertainment.

I owe 'Jericho' my whole time in America, really. It was a fantastic group of people to work with.

My favorite television show of all time is 'Hill Street Blues.' I think it's the show that is to television what Pele was to football or Muhammad Ali was to boxing.

I've written virtually as long as I've acted, it wasn't a sudden transition. I acted in my first play when I was 16 and I wrote my first play when I was 17.

I was encouraged to hear that GM has made great progress on the hydrogen car.

Neither the chains of dictatorship nor the fetters of oppression can keep down the forces of freedom for long.

Every call of Christ leads into death.

I am not a born writer, but I was born a writer.

An ill wound is cured, not an ill name.

I just read an 800-page history of the Scottish Enlightenment and, honestly, I may as well just start it again now, because I cannot remember a single thing. I can barely remember where Scotland is.

Being a physicist, not a philosopher, I have devised an entirely new theory of consciousness, allowing one to numerically calculate the level of consciounsess of humans and even animals.

No one should be discriminated against because of their sexual orientation.

I never define depression, clinical or otherwise. It's the basis of most life, it seems to me, in the modern world. We're all depressed.

I'm still technically employed by the National Broadcasting Company.
