I just personally feel like the best writing for actors exists in cable television.

I think in a weird way that the entertainment industry is strangely more brutally honest than any other.

To be honest, when you're young and you watch The Deer Hunter for the first time, that's when you're like, "That's what I want to do."

I'm a huge fan of Michael Hirst, and I'm a huge fan of historical drama.

Once a film is made and it exists, someone somewhere is going to watch it and that is kind of the magic of it all.

I've been lucky enough to go back and forth.

There was something about that form of comedy that's just difficult. It never really felt like you could just fully commit to all the colors that you carry with you.
