The other day, someone called me this generation's Bruce Dern - I'd never thought of that, and frankly, I don't know enough of Bruce Dern's work to comment on it, though he is an incredible actor.

As a heterosexual man, I've never really doubted my sexuality, but I've had men in my life and thought, "If I was gay, I'd be with him" - you know?

I've always liked stories. I'm always reading, ever since I was a kid. I've always been reading and wanting to be in some other world.

I have been really lucky in my career, with the diversity of it. I get to play really complex people.

In the past, if you did film, you couldn't do stage, and if you did film, you certainly didn't do television. You had to pick what you wanted to be. Now it seems like we can bounce around, not only between genres, but between mediums, and I like that. I like change and I like a good story.

I just like a good story. I want the story to be good and I want the character to be different than the last one I played. That's not always possible, but that's what I want.

I actually started in comedy, but then after 'Deadwood' I started concentrating on the dramas more. But then I just got tired for raping and killing and figured, 'It's time to do another comedy.
