As I get older, I've been having a better and better time.

When you're doing those operation scenes, you not only have to be on top of the dialogue and the rhythm of the dialogue and what's happening dramatically, but you've got to technically get the rhythm right, so that everything is fitting with the dialogue at the right time. And you're performing the operation to the audience that's watching it. Thackery has to present it, as well. In some ways, that's the most challenging.

I've been very fortunate with the scripts I've had and the people I worked with.

Parenthood and family come first for me, and when I'm not working I'm cool with the Teletubbies.

I certainly am not a great believer in over-rehearsing between actors, and certainly not doing the dialogue too much.

The thing about Hemingway that people forget is that all the stuff he did was at a time where people weren't traveling that much. At 19 he travels to Italy. He goes to the Spanish Civil War. He goes to China, he goes to Africa so at that time to travel that much is really incredible.

The further you run from your sins, the more exhausted you are when they catch up to you.
