“I've not been distracted by a long-running TV show or visits to Americ...” — Elliot Cowan Quote

I've not been distracted by a long-running TV show or visits to America for pilot season.

As I get older, the more I don't want my life to be emotionally out of balance in the way it was in my twenties.

Even though momentarily I thought about being a doctor, I was always involved in theatre and did a drama degree. I just didn't have the guts to go, 'Yes, I'm going to be an actor,' until I was probably 21.

I didn't want to get into acting just to play bystanders. I feel a bystander enough in my own life. And I do think that theatre can contribute to a certain analysis and commentary on our own world.

Many times I have gotten distracted. That has hurt or impeded success.

Human nature we get easily distracted.

We say that children are bad at paying attention, but we really mean that they're bad at not paying attention - they easily get distracted by anything interesting.

I never really do the New Year's Resolution thing. I kind of just try to stay focused, not get too distracted, and do the best I can. And that's something I like to tell myself every year around New Year's.

If you pinpointed someone before the kick-off, probably you would become embroiled in a fight, and you would be distracted from what really matters and not play well.
