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.

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.

Any time you end a relationship, and everyone has ended plenty in their life, it's always a tough thing and hard to get over.

I like to always have humour in whatever I do.

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.

I've had to fight for roles and I've lost a hundred roles, but 'Smoking' and 'Smith' were phone calls. That's the dream.

I just graduated from high school, and I was working at Blockbuster. Not only did I get into movies while I was there, but I was putting away boxes and looking at the kids on the covers. It felt like windows into these seemingly perfect lives.
