Were kind of in our own cocoon making it. Every once in a while you stick your head up for a second, and you just cant believe how successful the show has become.

If you take a look at our natural history, there's always a moment where the young lion wants to challenge the older lion and, inherently, that's going to be problematic, and I don't think we're any different.

I think one of the things I was most interested in finding out was how differently we approached our work. And my reality was that we didn't approach it very differently at all, which was funny.

The writers keep managing to turn the show in on itself, coming up with something that's well thought-out and miraculous.

I think when you get the opportunity to work with someone like Lars Von Trier... I mean, Alexander Skarsgård, Charlotte Rampling, John Hurt, just to work with those actors, you take that opportunity when you get it.

I feel extraordinarily peaceful when I'm watching the sun set.

I think the most attractive thing is a sense of humour. If someone can make you laugh, you've gotten a lot out of the way.
