You learn a lot about other people. You learn a lot about yourself.

Billy Campbell

I don’t have time to overthink things, and I don’t have time to get bogged down in stuff. I’m not sitting there thinking for a week and a half, before I’m supposed to go in front of a network president to do something. That just gives you time to be nervous.

I always know exactly where my stories take place, which gives me something certain so I can use my imagination for the other stuff. I worry though, who wants to keep reading stories about Kalamazoo?

I sailed a bit as a child, but it wasn’t until I was around 40, when I was halfway through Patrick O’Brian’s ‘Master and Commander’ novels, that I had the sudden epiphany that I had to go sail on a square-rig ship.

I tend to get comfortable with the dialogue and find out who the person is in the script and try to hit that. People are sort of independent of their occupations and their pastimes. You don’t play a politician or a fireman or a cowboy – you just play a person.
