I think that acting is a very humanizing profession.

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

There's something very interesting about the way each individual actor approaches stuff.

Clearly the success of the Netflix model, releasing the entire season of 'House of Cards' at once, proved one thing: The audience wants the control. They want the freedom. If they want to binge as they've been doing on 'House of Cards' and lots of other shows, we should let them binge.

Audiences grew to like this duality of feeling, where youre both championing a character and youre revolted by them.

It takes stamina to get up like an athlete every single night, seven to eight performances a week, 20 weeks in a row. And there are many young performers who only learn their craft in the two minute bits it takes to film a scene. You never learn the arc of storytelling, the arc of a character that way.

It's much more interesting when you go to different places - make a left turn when nobody expects you to make a left turn, and make a right when nobody expects you to do that.
