I'm an obsessive person. I like intensity.

There two other areas that are personally deeply important to me, that I hope the Homeland show can attend to in some way - one, being the refugee crisis. These are the most vulnerable people among us in the world. There are over 60 million refugees displaced by war, over 21 million that go to a third country. The numbers are climbing, and there are no legal options for these people. These are the victims of the real world's crises that the Homeland world reflects on, and almost takes a Polaroid of these days, versus a fictional tale of it.

My wife will tell you that if you feel my hands before I walk on for a performance, you could chill a bottle of wine.

I'm blessed. I have a 13-year-old girl's eye and a 14 year-old boy's eye. I've been given the gift of sight by people who decided to donate organs. I try to do as much organ-donor work as I can.

I've been very blessed in my personal life and in my career and I have never been ungrateful for what I have.

There's not a lot of money in revenge.

I wanted to go to a liberal arts college, I wanted to have that experience.
