Growing up where I did, the thought of working on a television show or in a movie... that existed on a parallel plane, you know?
Yeah, I think we did the term Muppets before we got the show Sam and Friends - a few months after I started working.
If you notice any of the press from when I was with the show, I would always deny it being the year 3000.
I'm not going to take a show unless I'm not sure I can do it. You have to have that sort of adrenaline.
The frustrating thing about 'Friday Night Lights' is I know a lot more people would respond to the show if they saw it.
You can't get all of your news from Jon Stewart, especially since it's a comedy show.
I dare you to show me one example where I haven't discharged my responsibility seriously, professionally and appropriately.
Life goes on pretty much the same way. I've been working on a couple of films on the side. You may see some more. You may even see another television show.
I don't want to imitate life in movies; I want to represent it. And in that representation, you use the colors you feel, and sometimes they are fake colors. But always it's to show one emotion.
'Game of Thrones' is shot on a very similar kind of schedule to a TV show, but there's a lot more time and focus put into the script.
You can't show up at the bedside and then turn on your skills. You have to keep your game sharp all the time.
I still have the shirt I wore my first time on Johnny Carson's show. Only now I use it as a tablecloth at dinner parties. It was very blousy.
'Game of Thrones' is a fantasy show not dedicated to any specific time, but it seems to exist in sort of a 1400s medieval fantasy world, and in that setting, I wouldn't have had a six-pack.
When people come to the show they think we are a legendary band because they hear us on Classic Rock radio all the time. It is psychological. That's okay - I'm down with that.
Depression comes back over time in about 90 percent of people on antidepressants. Studies show that relapses are far less common when people are treated with psychotherapy.
It's the only time that I'm ever nervous on stage, is when we're doing live TV. Especially an awards show, because I know you can't fix it.
I was proud to be a Tory Member of Parliament for twelve years, proud to represent Buckingham as a Tory, proud to have voted with my party 99% of the time as the record shows.
I forget sometimes that I'm in the HBO stable because I am such a fan of so much of their programming. Like, 'The Wire' is my favorite TV show of all time.
'Doctor Who' is the most original science-fiction television series ever made. It is also one of the longest-running television shows of all time.
For a London play, rehearsal time would be four weeks for the entire show. In films, I'd spend six weeks on the big dance numbers to get them perfect before the actual shooting.
I like giving people something they don't want to miss the next time. It's a show with little twists and turns and curves. It has me being silly and stupid and compassionate and completely deep.
