I often think that drama helps people feel less lonely about things.

One of the great things about drama is that it makes you feel like you're not a crackpot, and that there are other people who think and feel the way you do.

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

I like doing things that are very wildly different. I find that the meat and vegetables of being an actor is doing things that are completely different, all the time.

Acting gives me a chance to be people I will never be, in real life. I like changing who I am.

Actors tend to get better with age. You start cutting away the useless stuff and achieving a point of effortlessness and simplicity, which is all you want to do, with any art at all.

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