I don't care about sympathy. I care about playing a character who's understandable and clear.

It's really rare that you come across a Southern character that's not stereotyped, vilified or aggrandized.

About once a year, I do these long-distance relays with some friends of mine, and it takes about 27 or 28 hours to complete it.

I grew up in the South, so a huge part of our American History education revolved around the Civil War.

We've taken a show about destruction and turned it into a show about construction.

I can't claim I'm truly a man's man, I'm just as much of a dork and a crybaby sometimes as anybody else.

I love the process of acting, simply because I like to play make believe. But for me, it is purely make believe and it is a process of playing.
