I bake my daughter cupcakes for her school. I'm very hands-on.

I grew up with a very quick temper, and the language of violence is a language that I'm very familiar and comfortable with.

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

Playing characters that speak a very violent language was my livelihood.

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.

The violence is the violence. I understand that we're sometimes squeamish about it, but I think that strength needs to be called on once in awhile, and sometimes that's the only thing that will work.

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