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.

All I've done is work... I arrived in Los Angeles in my early 20s and I've been pounding the pavement ever since.

When you do a television show in the States, you get the pilot, and then it's the great unknown. That's the way it is. It's this great leap of faith. It's the Russian roulette of art.

Unless an entire row of people got up in the middle of a performance and left the theater in disgust, I felt as though I hadn't done my job.

For so much of my career I've been trying to find little things and make something out of it.

When I was growing up, I was always on stage but I loved other things.
