You look at your past and things that are unresolved and figure out what you need to do to move forward and fill a role with your family and in your community.

The difficult thing about shooting a television series is that you never have enough time. You really don't.

I just think that, at the end of the day, you needed the catharsis of revelation.

Within the stability of a family struggle, when there's less chaos, you can have the most soul-searching and the most digging to find out what and who you really are.

If you give a scene enough room to breathe, actors will hopefully find those magical moments.

If you trust that the people making the show love the source material and the characters, and it's a different medium and there are different requirements for long-form storytelling that will hopefully carry over a number of seasons, then it's exciting.

I'm at a point in my life where I have three kids. I'm a father, and you start to take stock and measure yourself as a man and see where there's room for growth.
