It's ridiculous. My life's been a series of happy accidents.

There is a somewhat-surprising, somewhat totally predictable paucity of struggle in entertainment television. I do like being a part of a show featuring a family from a struggling socioeconomic strata.

There's sort of a very symbiotic thing that happens on good TV shows with great writers, which is that they start to sort of embrace who the actors are and try to make the roles more specific to what they bring and what they can do.

I'm certainly not a trained singer. The only place I could probably carry a tune is my shower.

Oftentimes, when people don't respond to text messages or emails, I just start writing long, long in-depth essays and diatribes where characters start to appear and narrative threads begin.

I'm a young actor and I haven't learned everything there is about acting.

I like the idea of building this wandering, epic narrative in a form that people don't expect epic narratives to appear.
