I consider myself a blue-collar actor, just chugging away.

But a lot of shows, they pose questions and they give you a puzzle where there's no solution.

You always take a little bit back with you at the end of the day. I always put a little bit of myself into the characters, too. You find parallels, points of connection, things like that. But I'm not an actor who gets so incredibly haunted by my characters that I can't come back.

I try to pick characters that I find interesting and complex and that I feel I can bring something of myself to.

I've been recognized very seldom. I think I just look different in person than I do as the character.

You have to find it in the moment, and that's one of the challenges of being an actor - especially a film actor - is that you have to maintain these heightened emotions for long periods of time. There's no trick to it. You just have to do.

It's nice to know when you're a part of a story, it's nice to know at least something about the beginning, middle, and end.
