We're living in a time where we want to be entertained but I think part of what people are looking for, that they don't even know they're looking for is to be uplifted in many ways.

I think many people have contradictions to them and I love characters that deal with those contradictions.

When I listen to my scene partners and listen to their breathing allows me to be connected to them in scenes. I am not trying to multi task, not trying to talk on the phone, but in my character.

I feel that our stories are cross culturally irrelevant, and I'm a member if a larger community of people who have no boundaries in terms of color or in terms of how I look at other people and their stories.

To be a character actor is to be open, to be a chameleon.

Well, with each character that I play in my life as an actor, I try to figure out how to find the challenge.

After 'Breaking Bad,' people are very frightened of who I am. They back away from me on the street.
