It's a great counter to doing the soap because it's a comedy. It's real physical comedy.

In comedy you sometimes have to look at the funny bone a little bit. So, that was the hardest part - was not offending. I'm not laughing at anybody. We're laughing together about who we are - and the funnier part of who we are. I'm (sure) not writing this and calling you a stereotype. I'm not doing that.

I'd like to direct some, act in some of them, and produce.

I'm very much looking forward to my 30-40 years of acting, and, as I get older, I'm really looking forward to some of the roles that are out there to play.

If we stop exploring space, we're going to lose the same part of us that found vaccines and penicillin, the part that searches for cures to cancer and AIDS.

I have to say, though, it's a little strange doing both because Durant is very straight and stern and austere.

We need a space program because we need explorers. Its in our souls.
