More quotes by Donal Logue

It was all that stuff about taking your parents' car when you're 13, sneaking booze into rock shows and ditching school with your friends. I could relate to that as a former teenager, rather than as a present parent.

I think in a weird way that the entertainment industry is strangely more brutally honest than any other.

I have to say that it was a thrilling ride to be on 'Terriers.' It was this odd circumstance where it was really loved by the people it was loved by, but it didn't do well. In fairness to FX, they were just so generous in keeping it on the air the whole year.

There was something about that form of comedy that's just difficult. It never really felt like you could just fully commit to all the colors that you carry with you.

We own our movie and are now close to breaking even, even without finishing domestic DVD deals.
Donal Logue
It's so nerve-wracking to go out into a stadium, feeling a billion eyes upon you when you mess up your touches. That's an overwhelming environment.

Then I did The Tao of Steve and that was at Sundance in 2000 where it did really well.

I did pilots here and there but mostly I was doing little bits in movies.
Donal Logue
As the season progresses, it's like the doors open up to all the different worlds that were teased about in the pilot.

Well Bill Martin and Mike Schiff were the creators and they knew we had to do a family show. Everybody came at it from the angle of having been a kid and a teenager.
