I do lay in some opinions here and there. For example, I don’t think it should be socially acceptable for people to say they are bad with names. No one is bad with names. That is not a real thing. Not...
I didn't completely forget how to be nice or feminine because I have a career.
I am a confident writer, a hothead, and have a very thin skin for any criticism. This charming combination of personality traits makes me an argument machine on our staff.
I also did that thing that corrupt politicians do where I hired all my friends to work with me, so that’s very nice as well. I like to think of myself as the Rod Blagojevich of television.
Hugh was in prime Jackman when he played smoldering Van Helsing.
