A career in entertainment has a lifespan, like one in sport.

I started my music career at 18 and for a long while I let other people handle my affairs.

You should make an effort on stage because it's a performance. The stage should be glittery and camp, but I don't go down the shops in full stage gear.

I'm all for consumer rights. I get very aggravated if I don't get a good service.

I think what 'Shameless' does well is highlight real relationships. And in any real relationship, there are ups and downs and elements that change the dynamics of the relationship.

I almost feel like sometimes when I'm on location, you miss your home and your family and all that stuff, but it keeps you focused on the work.

When it came time to take a job, I had the distinction of joining the smallest company of any graduate in my class. I left to become only the fifth full-time employee of HAL, and when I told my father this, you can imagine, it was not the happiest moment in the history of my family.

Now I'm the father of three children; I'm not able to go live on a bus and do semesters around the country like I did when I was young.
