I was at The Comedy Store on Sunset Boulevard, which is renowned for the people who have been through there: Richard Pryor, Jerry Seinfeld, Robin Williams. I mean I wasn’t great at it, but I hadn’t been nervous. I had done it a few times in DC when I hadn’t been nervous at all. Some people do and those are amazing stories, but for everyone else what you can do is go to an open mic night and do stand-up comedy. When you move out to Los Angeles obviously you don’t just get to jump on a television show or a movie. For a guy who had liked dating and wasn’t super monogamous when we met, I remember thinking to myself, "Oh, my gosh, she’s the one" and feeling that I hadn’t meant to meet her so early, but I realised I was done. Properly in love? That would have to be my wife. Well, that depends on the bar for what the word means.
Extreme fame like that can mess with people but he couldn’t have been kinde, and it was most certainly memorable.
He was so expert at meeting people that are freaked out over meeting him and he seemed extremely calm and normal. I was here in London playing Buddy Holly in the show Buddy and Paul McCartney, being a big fan of Buddy Holly, threw a party in celebration of his birthday in the Victoria Palace Theatre, where our show was.

So you don’t want to play anybody that’s less than that. They’re fascinating and interesting and maddening and glorious, in all these different ways. If he was being authentic - and that was always the question - well, he ends up proving it, which is really special and sweet to me because I love the human beings, man. Later, she says, 'Remember when you told me you would do anything for me?'And Ward looks at her, and he says, 'Anything.' It was just true in the moment. Sarah is telling Ward how much he’s hurt her, and he’s saying how sorry he is. It’s the first time they’ve seen each other since they were on the boat and the terrible fight at the end of that scene. There’s a spot early on - in fact, in one of the ads - where Ward is with Sarah. Sometimes things just work out, and a lot of it is the writers being utterly available to what’s gonna work in that moment and what’s gonna really make the audience feel something. To my mind, we landed on the one that is by far the most meaningful and the most interesting. There were different outcomes of that scene. But the scene itself came very, very late in the game. "It’s hard for me to know the time because we overlapped episodes so much.
