You have to have wonderful actors for material, particularly difficult material that requires complicated performances.

It is harder to get adult, character-driven material on television than it used to be, but there are lots of other places that you can go to sell it. If you can do it for basic cable or pay cable, we have those outlets.

Both of our children are adopted, and my wife and I didn't go out of ways to find kids that looked like us. We were just happy to have some kids. And people tell me all the time that they look like us, and that's because they learn to smile and laugh and move their head a certain way from studying their parents' faces.

You want to mix acting styles correctly. People approach the work in different ways. You want to make sure no one wants to kill each other because the approach is different.

Maybe because I didn't have a huge film career right off the bat, I've been able to create something different, which is so important to me. That's myself, my idea of who I am.

If I had stuck to my knitting, I would have had a wonderful career having a delicatessen in Blacktown.

I grew up doing certain little things in the musical theatre realm, but I didn't really understand that you could... make a career out of it.

In the 30 years of my career, I have explored all possible mediums, except radio.
