I don't have much time for real violence at all. I think there are infinitely better ways of changing the world than using violence. Sitting round a table talking is a pretty good start.

One of the things that makes this so topical right now is that I think there are an awful lot of American men - and women, but I'm a man, so that's what I can talk about - who feel the American dream has let them down.

I'd never read a piece of television where it's an hour script and it's perfect.

It has taken a long time for me to be able to really just be in front of the camera.

One of the great things about being an actor is that you have a completely different challenge every few months.

Violence is a very ugly thing. Violence is often so casual on film, and made to look so cool and so sexy, but violence is a repulsive, repugnant act that human beings inflict on each other. It shouldn't seem to be cool and sexy, ever really.

Im not a big fan of patterns. I like the unexpected.
