I'm just an actor. I am nothing special.

One of the greatest gifts that 'Homeland' has given me is it's affirming on a daily basis.

Actually, the language in Shakespeare is wonderfully musical. You need to hear the music to connect with the words.

I'm a spiritual person, I'm an America, I'm a Jew, and all of those things influence every breath I take, everywhere I go.

This is unbearable how I talk.

During 'Chicago Hope,' I never let directors talk to me, because I was so spoiled. I started off with people like Milos Forman, Sidney Lumet, James Lapine, unbelievably gifted people. So there I was saying, 'Don't talk to me, I don't want your opinion.' I behaved abominably.

I believe there's a common ground in what all gifted writers write. It has to do with their wish to turn darkness into light.
