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

I think people are gravitating towards these period dramas because I think they're looking for a simpler time.

As an actor you want to explore something you haven't done.

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

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.

I'm just mystified and fascinated by women, and I'm still single. Hence all of that, and the fact that I celebrate them so much, I understand that I'm unevolved at this exact moment to share my life with one. I wouldn't inflict that upon anyone yet. But, I'm getting closer.

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