It's better to be in love than watch it.

In that Freak Show environment, I got to spend time with so many of the actors who were part of that world. I just had the best time ever.

Having done television for almost 20 years now, a pilot is kind of like a rough draft. It's like bringing people into your ultrasound and hooking up to the monitor and going, "Isn't my baby beautiful?" "Yeah. I can only see the outline of it, but it looks like it might be."

I think your text [script] is everything; it's what informs you; it's what gives you the given circumstances. Then you take that and you add your own creativity and your own spin on things and you make it personal. That's what makes that character and that text unique to you, when you personalize it. I think that's where your job as an actor comes in.

Without a safe haven, one of the most authentic parts of who you are, who you love, felt invisible to the world.

I lived in several hotels, yeah. You have to try to make it home.

It's so rare, especially as a younger actor, to find a role where it's not just one-dimensional and it's not just a stock leading man.
