When I did 'The Tudors,' there was massive information available and a ready-made market.

The American obsession with 'Downton' amuses me slightly because it's such a fiction. I've always been questioned about my historical veracity, and 'Downton' just flies past, when it's completely made up.

I'm 43. I'm not ready to sit down in a chair with my name on it yet.

This spread has been unseasonably wide so far in 2006, reflecting the tight available supply of market ready cattle, especially in the south.

If all that information on everything you own and everything you owe is readily available, then why do we even bother with a right to privacy?

We now eat at the end of a very long and opaque food chain. Food comes to us ready-made in packages that obscure as much information as they reveal.
