For me, acting is play. It's just play and it's playing make believe really, really well.

I'm not interested in the heroes or the villains. I'm interested in playing people.

Horses have different levels of intelligence and different levels of work ethic.

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

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

If you've ever tried to move from L.A. back to New York, that's a pretty hard move. You forget how cramped things are in New York. You forget how dirty it is in New York. But, it's been the best move of my life, not necessarily for my career, but for my soul.

I love the long-form format of television. I love being able to develop a character, over a long period of time.
