I think every script I read has something that sends me into a state of panic but that usually makes me want to do it.

I was shooting Beyond Redemption, I started shooting American Horror Story, so I was going back and forth between Northern California and LA. That was not bad at all - that flight is like getting on the subway, it's nothing. And then during rehearsals.

All I really want to do is someday be in a western. If I could be on a horse with a rifle, I would be a really happy camper.

For me, work is so satisfying and it's giving me so much, it's nurturing me so much, that I think it sort of makes up for the sleep depravation.

So, for the most part, I really like when I read a scene that scares me and makes me sweat a little bit, thinking about doing it. That's usually a good sign to me.

When I was in high school and college, my other real focus was, actually, fiction writing. So in college, I had done all these seminars with these various writers-in-residence.

It's very hard when you're doing a new play that you believe in, and you want to tell the story in the best way possible.
