You Can Only Do So

I Find That Everything I Do Is Demanding, Like Jack Bristow Is A Complicated Man And I Do A Lot Of Explaining In The Show, It Takes A Lot Of Energy And Concentration.

I Have No Interest In Directing. I've No Talent For It.

That's Why, When Alias Came Along, I Knew I'd Be Ok If The Show Was On For Five Or Six Years Because The Writing Was So Good And The Creative Team Was So Strong.

I'm Very Serious About Acting.

I Grew Up In The Theater, And You Can't Improvise Shakespeare And Ibsen. You Have To Speak The Language. But Obviously, In A Contemporary Film, There's Often Room For Improvisation And Spontaneous Things That Happen. As Long As I Know What I'm Trying To Achieve In The Scene, And When Something Comes Up, I Know That The Response Is Genuine, I'm Comfortable. That's Really How I Build Everything.
