Jason O'Mara Quotations

When I was on 'Terra Nova', I had an Australian iPhone and a U.S. iPhone, different time zones, just a couple differences in the machines, but I was able to keep the international aspect of things in order. But I lost my U.S. iPhone right before I left Australia. Somebody's got it somewhere out there. Send it back?

I've spent three hours hanging upside down while fighting off dinosaur attacks. That was a lot of fun.

Sometimes the things that scare me are the things I'm drawn to: moving to London, L.A., New York; marrying, having a kid. In order to live a full life, sometimes you have to do things that scare you.

People tell you not to work with children and animals, and I chose to work with a 7-year-old and several dinosaurs!

I like to play very raw characters, characters who have a degree of vulnerability and passion about what they're doing.

It's really exhilarating and exciting to be able to meet your fan base and see them in person, and see the lengths that they're willing to go to.

As actors, we have that in common that we go for slightly out-of-the-box or genre stuff. They're great when they work, but they don't always work. Genre stuff is really hard to pull off, as any fans of it know.

I called my family, saying, 'Guess what? I got a new show. It's about a cop who travels in time.' And they said, 'I think we've seen that one.'

That's the challenging thing with TV; it's not the action scenes per se, and it's not the location scenes and the heavy dialog scenes, but the fact that there is just no let-up; there is no break.

I turned up my nose at yoga for years. I was a rugby player growing up. But now I know. When I'm on those long international flights, like 22 hours from L.A. to Sydney, I'll get up sometimes and do yoga in the aisle just to stretch out a little bit.

I like to take a shot with things. I like to take risks. I'm attracted to things that are different than the average run-of-the-mill stuff.

I became an American citizen three years ago, and if I'd been arrested, maybe that wouldn't have happened. That was a very proud moment, by the way. I still have my Irish passport, but becoming an American citizen was important in terms of my family.

I just watched the entire season of 'Louie' in one flight. What an amazing show.

A sense of humor saves your life, and being able to make friends wherever you go.
