While data can only tell you what has happened in the past, it can in some ways give you a sense of what might be of interest to an audience in the future.

After graduation, I was floundering in L.A., doing stand-up comedy and working in a shoe store in the Valley.

Wanting people to listen, you can't just tap them on the shoulder anymore. You have to hit them with a sledgehammer, and then you'll notice you've got their strict attention.

Im able to hang up the character with the costume at the end of the movie.

I think you need the failures to get the success. You learn more from that.

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 think that when you put yourself, as actors have to do, in other people's shoes, when you have to put on the costume that someone else has worn in their life, it gets much, much harder to be prejudiced against them and even to be - to not try to look at the world in a sense of "I'm not going to judge somebody. I'm going to try to understand who they are and what they're about."
