For me, coming to work every day has turned out to be exactly what I hoped it would be.

I've been around politics a long time. I've seen it at its best and its worst, been at so many events, listened to private conversations versus public speaking, understood the game of it, and in many ways the theatrics.

The journey that we go on as actors is an interesting one and sometimes a revealing one.

Its interesting to play a politician who gets stuff done.

I couldnt imagine something asking as much of me as House Of Cards. Its a great warm-up for coming back to the screen.

I mean we all played as kids. You play games, you take on different characters, you imitate; the fun and the love of play has never left me.

It is not about whether you are an executive, a studio or a network. If you have a story or an idea you can build a following for it.
