1 Age

  • 1. Each moment of a happy lover's hour is worth an age of dull and common life.
  • 2. I never wanted to do TV. I just did what I was trained to do through the Special Forces and I've been doing that from a very young age.
  • 3. My view is that at a younger age your optimism is more and you have more imagination etc. You have less bias.

2 Amazing

  • 1. For the last 20 years of my life I've had the mantra to do amazing parts with amazing people in amazing projects so I'm attracted to good story writing and character and good people. That's what I'm always searching for and I don't think that's ever going to change.
  • 2. I've been given an amazing opportunity and I could not be more grateful. But I also know that all this will eventually die off. It's not real. It will go away and then you'll go away and then I don't know I'll be left sitting in some English hotel room.
  • 3. I'm not a kid anymore. And I'm excited for all the amazing things to come.

3 Anger

4 Anniversary

  • 3. Mom and Dad were married 64 years. And if you wondered what their secret was you could have asked the local florist – because every day Dad gave Mom a rose which he put on her bedside table. That's how she found out what happened on the day my father died – she went looking for him because that morning there was no rose.

5 Architecture

  • 1. I got into this little habit of architecture and building. I designed a house in Colorado and one in Hawaii. The idea is supposed to be build and sell – but then I can never bring myself to sell them.
  • 2. What's fascinating about D.C. the exteriors are these elaborate structures this gorgeous architecture and beautiful stonework and then you go inside and it's crap-looking – apart from the White House which is beautiful.
  • 3. In art or architecture your project is only done when you say it's done. If you want to rip it apart at the eleventh hour and start all over again you never finish. I was one of those crazy creatures.
