There are so many choices I made simply for health insurance. Is it the ideal role I wanted to play, or the TV show I wanted to be a part of? No, but it let me afford to go to the doctor.

Being an actor, we're so dependent on the writers.

I'd love to do a costume drama movie. For no other reason, except that it sounds fun to me.

You know, there are a lot of directors, like Clint Eastwood (on Changeling) is one where he casts you and you know in many ways that's enough for him and so, you go, ok, well, he saw something. Ok, what is it that he saw? What is it that I brought to this and why am I right for this and not trying to double-guess it and get in your own way and get psyched out, 'cause he trusts so much.

I love Morocco - it's a real challenge to all five senses. You think you know something, and you don't. It's wonderful. It keeps you on your toes that way.

The Wire,' I was such a fan of that show the first season - I think that's the best-written show on TV.

It's funny to see the finished product of a movie, stuff that's so beautiful, and to remember the particulars.
