One bit of advice someone gave me - which I haven't yet tried - is that if you go to an area where you might pick up a tummy bug, you should seek out the local probiotic yogurt. Eating it will introduce you to the local gut flora, apparently.
I'm fortunate because people can't put a label on me, which I embrace wholeheartedly.
Ctors are always trying to cry and people are actually trying not to cry.
Comic-Con is a bizarre world. It's wonderful. It's nice, feeling the love. Everywhere you walk, you feel the love.
I've always resisted the idea of becoming a David Hasselhoff, and I hope I'm still resisting it.
When I was filming 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' in America, for a couple of weeks beforehand we would always fit in a family holiday in California.
We all sing about the things we're thinking; musicals are about expressing those emotions that you can't talk about. It works a real treat.
I've been to Australia a couple of times, but never to the north or the centre. I would love to see Ayers Rock.
And to get that much talent in the show—and to keep it constant and consistent—I think is a remarkable feat.
You know, one of the classics when somebody invents something, you go why the hell didn't I think of that.
Somerset has a wonderful wildness about it - it hasn't been tamed. This is farming country, and there's a realness here - I love it.
It's everyone's destiny to be glooped at some point in their life.
I am a great believer rather than the popular scientific way of dealing with things that 'Nothing exists unless you can prove it'. I am pretty much the other way that pretty much anything can exist unless you can disprove it.
I had my trousers on at all times.
I have a very open mind. I believe that there's a spirit world. I believe that there's a lot of stuff out there that we don't know about, don't want to understand, and sometimes we don't want to understand it.
People don't seem to be able to pigeonhole me yet, which is great.
I had to groan a bit on the couch when my brow was mopped - as it is when you've been shot across the chest.
