It's mind-altering when you slip into someone else's shoes. That's psychedelic, man.

I want to be done, and actually, go "I had a good run. No regrets. I'm ready to step aside."

My goal has always been to be a working actor.

[My father] had a massive middle-age breakdown. And left the family. And then it just completely fell apart. And my mother was heartbroken, just completely devastated. To make ends meet we started selling off all our possessions.

When you're directing an ongoing series, the tone has already been set. So a director will come in and fulfill that tone - reinforce the characters and their behavior. The challenge is to find unique ways that you can visually tell the story while keeping the established tone and the pace and the characters.

If you have a screaming angry director, everyone else will be panicked as well.

Actors, writers, directors - that triumvirate of creativity - we have to rely and trust each other to be able to get to the final product.
