Tim Daly Quotations

We get the magazine in question. Just like every other office, we put it in the recycle bin when it arrives.

We had a big lift from everyone. Today was a big hurdle for us and our best performance of the year.

It's like the end of a movie now. It's sad, but we're moving on to other things.

The beauty of this system is it works in real time.

They could have watched in virtual real time as the water flooded New Orleans. They would have been able to appreciate where the impact would have been greatest and first, so it's a time issue.

I love exploring the relationship between fathers and daughters. I think that's a special thing, especially with daughters who are dealing with being adults. That's fascinating to me. I've had a lot of very interesting parenting techniques that I've employed with my own daughter that have worked really well, so far.

Well, I've seen a bunch of acupuncturists and one of my sister-in-laws is an herbalist. So I know a lot about alternative medicine. I don't know a lot about the practice but I know about the world.

Although political shows are really popular now, I think what sets this apart is this marriage and this family dynamic, and this way of revealing that people in positions of power or who have public careers are also real people. They have children and lives, and they have to deal with all of the things that everybody else does.

I've always felt if my nose were more crooked, critics would focus more on my acting.

Thank God for acupuncture. It's been around for 2000 years. It's not going anyplace and people use it all of the time for a variety of cures and to avoid illnesses.

Eastern medicine is not about curing your sickness. It's about keeping you well.

What attracted me to it, beyond it being really intelligent, was that it was sadly something that would be unique on television. Anchoring this political show is this vital, dynamic, complex, thriving marriage. These people are passionately and fiercely committed to making it work out.

I have this burgeoning reputation for playing a scumbag.

Well, I have a farm in Vermont that's my main residence, where I do lots of digging and mowing, and ride tractors - just so you don't get the wrong idea that I'm too girlie!
