My characters are always utterly sympathetic to me.

My mom, she's from Ireland, coached tennis in Nigeria when she was a missionary and turned me on to it when I was young.
Donal Logue
I'm a professional hanger outer. I'm a super liability, too. I joke around and I'm like a hyper-active child.
Donal Logue
It's always surprised me that the most successful and really amazing shows are also the happiest environments, and very welcoming.
Donal Logue
I did pilots here and there but mostly I was doing little bits in movies.

As the season progresses, it's like the doors open up to all the different worlds that were teased about in the pilot.

One thing that's interesting is that whenever something starts, like the school year when you were a kid, it feels like such a significantly huge time in your life and how much life has changed. What's surprising is how quickly it's going by.

This sounds so bogus, but I would love to, at some point when my kids are in college, is just go do a whole season at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, and do a year of plays. Most actors miss the days of live theater.
Donal Logue
I'd have to say my favorite thing about working on the show, and something that might be intriguing to other people, is that it's just such an amazingly welcoming environment to work in.
Donal Logue
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.
Donal Logue
Every once in awhile, when you can see shades of the person's real interior life, I think that's interesting.

A college football star, by his senior year, is used to running out there with 110,000 people going nuts. They feel comfortable in that environment. To me, a set feels like that. The one thing that I do know is that, as long as I'm prepared, I know this environment and this world.
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.
Donal Logue
The desert feels Irish in a way - lonely and barren. If someone said, 'Think of a happy place for you,' I'd say a glacial plane near the South Pole, the wind howling, nobody in sight, a shack with a pot-belly stove and some tea.
Donal Logue
I think in a weird way that the entertainment industry is strangely more brutally honest than any other.
Donal Logue
Then I did The Tao of Steve and that was at Sundance in 2000 where it did really well.
Donal Logue
There's a certain kind of existential freedom that comes to people who realize that all the things that they hold onto and that they think define them, once they're gone, there's this new freedom to determine the way you're going to live your life.
Donal Logue
Young actors are pretty fantastic. I can't even imagine doing stuff like that when I was a kid.
