For me to have the opportunity to stay with one character for, God willing, a long period of time, is really exciting.

I enjoy learning about different periods and people, and then taking what's universal about the human condition and seeing where it matches up. No matter where you are, certain things unite everybody.

I have a bag with a toothbrush and toothpaste and all the things I might need during the day. I call the bag my trailer. Sometimes you don't have a trailer, so that's my trailer.

My parents were divorced and I would spend weekends with my father.

I am very lucky, because for the most part people are very nice to me, and I am still able to go about my life and ride the subway and all that.

I still know I have an awful lot to learn, and I hope I'm put in whatever situation it is that's gonna help me learn it, or that I'll get to watch really good people do what they do.

I'm always curious, but I'm learning things I never thought I'd learn. I get to travel to places I never thought I'd go.
