It's always flattering when somebody you really respect and like wants you to be involved in their project - let alone writes a part with your voice in mind.

I mean, in the editing room, you sit there, and you're so happy about a lot of it. You've got these great actors, and the DP's great, and you love it... And then there's so much you're mad about. Cause you've made so many mistakes. So yeah, there're scenarios where you're like, "Ah, I wish I could change this. How do I make this better?" "No matter what I do, the scene's not working, what do I do?"

I'm from Long Island. Strong Island.

There's been a lot of times that I thought I'd never work again; I was really bummed out.

I've spent so much of my youth trying to change people or change girls and then having it done to me and people wanting me to change.

I love 'Boardwalk Empire.' I really love that world. I love that style. I love all the actors on it.

I'm not a cook. I don't think I ever will be.
