The whole Twitter phenomenon is really indicative of what's happening in this country. And I say this in condemnation of myself as much as anyone else - we are growing into a nation that has no time, desire or capacity for truth. All we can handle is 140 characters of knowledge.

I navigate through the world with the excitement and determination of a child. That's why I'm an artist. I'd die without an outlet for expression. Unfortunately, more often than not, that childlike energy is the maturity level I bring to many circumstances.

I think there's a part of me that feels the need to hide a little bit behind a character.

As an actor, I've been drawn to those characters that are further away from who I may be.

I love being able to stay real to the world.

I always have a sense of where I want to end each season, emotionally and relationship wise and with the theme, and I'm always able to hit that.

My production team doesn't like not knowing what anything is going to look like, but creatively, that's fun.
