I've always been fascinated by Baretta and Donny Brasco, and other undercover cops in movies.

I believe that Ryan Murphy is a genius. His instincts remind me of Andy Warhol. I recently went to the Warhol museum in Pittsburgh, and you can see a lot of echoes of Andy in Ryan’s work. Like Andy, Ryan’s finger is so on the pulse of culture that he’s ahead of culture. Their aesthetic and their vision of the world are very similar.

Everything keeps changing. People want to label things all the time and once you label it, it changes again.

The Victorian era is the sexiest age for me, but I also like a woman in a pair of jeans.

My theory about actors is we're all walking milk cartons. Expirations dates everywhere.

It's hard to find success and it's hard to find hit movies or hit TV shows and to stay relevant. I think it's a very difficult thing for actors, because a lot of us get lost, frankly.

I mean, I always think when you're an actor you have to be the guy running into the burning building rather than running out of it, if you want to make some noise as an actor.
