This is one of the ways in which television can actually be good, and even better than the movies, because it gives you a chance to tell a long story.

Dream Escaping Hollywood
On land, you can walk away from people, from unpleasant situations. But when you’re on a ship for 14 months with 49 other people, if you don’t resolve your issues it literally could mean – and this would be an extreme circumstance – the sinking of the ship.

Issues Land Mean

I think it would be lovely to see some features on a disc of ‘The Rocketeer,’ with some reminiscing. I think that would be dynamite.

For me, the experience of making the show is very much like being in a novel. I enjoy getting the new script. I make a cup of tea and I read it the same way I would read a book, with the same amount of joy.

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.
