I like television that grabs you by your throat.

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

If you look around us, there are an awful lot of men out there, and women, but mostly men, who believe that they have got a fast-track path to Heaven, if they do the things that they believe God is telling them to do, and I don't just mean Islamic people. I mean Fundamentalist Christians.

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

I couldn't do the same job for 30 years. That would make me want to kill myself. Other people do it and they're very happy doing it, but for me, that's not what I want. I like changing things, all the time.

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.

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