My goal, everyone's goal is to get better at what we do.

I'm acting with the best actors in the world.

I grew up watching PBS and wanting to be a part of it, just like HBO.

I wrote a script and I've been whispering in director's ears for a really long time and I'd love to direct.

Sometimes - this is a tough one - not everyone can handle the truth. Sometimes you have to take a beat. But if you can take that beat, and take the high road, it'll serve you in the long run.

Yet the reality is that I'm a stage actor from the Midwest - probably the opposite of a shark agent.

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