I feel that as a writer and as a performer too. I never really thought about backstory for characters. It was much more of a musical approach: You learn a melody, and then you sing it, I suppose, or you find a rhythm or a cadence that works for the material. And then it's sort of about hitting that note correctly and finding those beats.

I was often getting hired to play sociopaths and psychopaths and stuff, which is really funny.

Now I write often. I decided that I need to write for myself - I can't really direct other people's material.

To spend 36 hours or 48 hours of my life binge-watching something seems insane to me.

Im really bad at tests of any kind, so Im bad at auditions. I consider myself educated most of the time, but when Im under the gun, I just fail.

Movies that I remember working on, or things that I remember working on, are things that took years of struggle and strife to get them off the ground or get them in front of the public. You don't have that kind of strife or whatever with a television show. It has an automatic platform. You go in, you do your job, and then it goes on air, and that's that.

It's so enjoyable to play a bad guy, you know.
