It's very important to me to love what I do. It was important to me to find a career that I truly enjoy. You can find something that sort of excites you, that's half the battle of life.

I like great directors who are scarce. Prolific ones are nice too but for me, there's something about the scarcity that makes it all the more valuable.

I just want to be in good things that I want to see, and I want to work with talented people who are smarter than myself.

I want to work with intelligent people and look for scripts that I think are intelligent and surprising.

There's no conversation more boring than talking about what it's really like to live in Newport and how the show compares to the real thing. I just don't care.

Most of the time, my favorite drama has comedy in it as well. I think most good dramas have comedy in there. And all of the dramatic actors I look up to are also very funny.

Transitioning to being an unemployed film actor is different, but it's fun and I've been looking forward to it for a while.
