That fascinated me. I used to watch all these operations on TV and thought it would be really cool to do that.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm sort of fascinated by the whole espionage crime thing.
I can't think of anything that's as exciting as I'm sure this mission will be, and actually being in space. But, we did some training as a crew together.
It's very interesting to know what people are doing while you're working on late-night television.
I think I was very interested in the space program as a kid, watching the first Apollo missions to the moon, and it's something I thought that would be a lot of, of fun and exciting and a very worthwhile job.
I never wanted to do TV. I just did what I was trained to do through the Special Forces, and I've been doing that from a very young age.
I think that cable TV is a great venue to do something interesting.
I think feature films sell on the idea, and I think TV works based almost entirely on execution. I don't think anybody is going, 'Wow, that show is executed poorly, but the idea is so cool I just have to keep watching.'
When I was 12, I saw the Apollo moon landings, and I thought that was really fantastic and exciting and thought, 'That's what I want to do.'
I've known I wanted to do this ever since I was four years old and watched 'Star Search' for the first time. I mean, Harrison Ford in 'Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark?' My hero.
It's a very strange and quite terrifying experience to watch yourself on TV. I never like to do it with other people.
