I shall never ask any pilot to go on a mission that I won't go on.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I always wanted to be a pilot.
From an actor's point of view, you never really like to hope that anything will go beyond the pilot. I'd always say to my agent every time I filmed a pilot, 'Great! Well, I'll see you at pilot season.'
For the last four or five years, I had been in the position where I didn't have to take a pilot. I took this one because the script and the people were terrific. It never frightened me. As we were doing the pilot, I could tell that it was working.
I'll admit I wanted to be a pilot, originally.
I've always wanted to be a fighter pilot. But I don't want to kill people. I'd hate to.
Pilots are not the threat.
When people have asked if I'd like to go in the Shuttle, I said you don't get to fly it, except for landing, which I'd love to do. I wouldn't go unless I could command it.
When you're making a pilot, what you're mostly thinking is, 'Please let this be a real job, please.'
Like, to do a pilot, you don't know what's going to happen with it.
I didn't get my first pilot that I screen-tested for, and I really thought it was the end of the world. But it's fine, you know, you move on to something else.
