I left the Army in 2000 and went into industry before I started appearing on TV in 2003. My best job there was on a series called ‘Crafty Tricks Of War’ for the BBC. I loved that because it celebrated how clever and inventive people are and the ingenuity that goes into solving problems.

I’ve never dated anywhere else, so I only know L.A. dating, and I wouldn’t wish it upon my worst enemy. I’ve pulled back and taken the pressure off of myself to figure it out, because there’s so much pressure about status that dating has become this game where you pull out all your tricks.
If you’re at the Oscars, there’s not a man on that red carpet who is not wearing make-up. Most straight actors I know get quite used to it. Even when they go out in real life they grab some sort of bronzer and they throw it on. They dye their eyebrows, they dye their lashes – they know the tricks.
For me, juggling mommyhood and work is a challenge, but each day I learn little tricks to make it all come together.
Memory training is not just for the sake of performing party tricks; it’s about nurturing something profoundly and essentially human.
The first year at Juilliard is, I think, the best. And partly why I left – I only went one year.

In my experience of these things, parties which shout about dirty tricks and the like tend to do so because they fear a direct hit in some vulnerable part of their political anatomy.

Experience teaches you a few tricks, but energy is key. Its what keeps you pumped.
