I worked with Ismail Merchant on ‘The Mystic Masseur,’ I did ‘Sakina’s Restaurant,’ I’ve done plays, I’ve been on Broadway, I’ve done movies, I’ve done TV… but nothing has had the pop culture penetrative impact as ‘The Daily Show‘ has. It’s the nature of the beast.

In the ’90s there were these great end of the world movies like ‘Armageddon‘ and ‘Deep Impact’… I always liked the idea of what people on the ground are doing, not so much the people who are trying to stop the world from ending.
Now I’m seen by more people in one episode than I was in 20 years of theatre and movies. It’s gratifying to have an impact on 25 million people a night, but I can say goodbye to my lunch-pail life as a working actor. I’m scared I might be a celebrity.
I’ll always be grateful for what ‘Doctor Who‘ has given me. I go to quite a few fan conventions. It’s lovely to hang out with people you worked with so long ago. And, more than that, it’s made me aware of the impact that television can have.

For someone to say that someone’s a skeptic or a climate denier about the climate changing, that’s just nonsensical. We see that throughout history. We impact the climate by our activity. How much so is very difficult to determine with respect to our CO2 or carbon footprint, but we obviously do.

I’ve spent half my life in gyms, if not more, and I love physical fitness and health; couple that with the fact that I love for people to be healthy, whether it’s mentally, physically, or emotionally, and it’s just a great opportunity for me to do something I love and have an impact on people’s health.

More than 50% of significant new regulations that impact on business in the UK now emanate from the EU.
I shared a dressing room with Pete Postlethwaite for 18 months, and he became a good friend. His discipline had an impact on me. You could have a laugh with him, but he was always on the ball when it came to work and very professional. Hopefully some of that rubbed off on me.

Health care – the ability of neural networks to ingest lots of data and make predictions is very well suited to this area, and potentially will have a huge societal impact.
