I've been on the stage my entire life as an actor.

HBO does something that most networks don't do which is give a show a chance to find their voice.

I'm a stage actor. That is what I do.

I'm one of these people who would rather show you than tell you through the performance.

If someone mistakes your kindness for weakness, that's their fault - not yours. And it's OK to be a decent human being in this life.

You know the Greeks didn't write obituaries. They only asked one question after a man died: "Did he have passion?"

You can't make people who you want them to be. That was a hard lesson for me.
