I pretty much always choose characters. That's what I do. That's what I look for. I look for dynamics in a script and potential.

Television is what we call the long form of storytelling, where we tell stories over thirteen, twenty-two, or twenty-four hours. Miniseries is an eight-hour form of storytelling, and film is a two-hour form. Each and every one of them are important to me, because they're a different modality of storytelling.

Strangely enough, I find myself more centered in chaos than in calm, and again I'm not sure whether that's a strength or says something weird about me, but I love a crisis. I'm normally very, very organized in the middle of chaos, and then when I have nothing to focus on, extremely disorganized, and I tend to waste a lot of time.

I seem to be incapable of playing that guy that always does the right thing, who always responds well in any circumstance.

A long-running TV series is a beast in that it demands you stick to one character over a long haul.

The funny thing is, the older I get, the less I enjoy talking when I act. I don't like talking anymore. I like behavior. All of the running and gunning, and the fights and the stunts, is just awesome fun.

I love playing bad guys; they're always much more fun than the good guy.
