Look, none of the artists who I admire or respect have ever shied away from a role because it might make them unpopular with somebody.

You can't please everybody. There's that old saying that there's no sure formula for success, but the only sure fire formula for failure is to try to please everyone. You're not going to do that.

Anybody who is rude to anyone in the service industry is automatically out.

As actors you're always going to take certain roles that are in your comfort zone and take ones that aren't.

Everybody thinks that equality comes from identifying people, and that's not where equality comes from.

For every role, I brought certain elements of the character. Even on White Collar over six years, I tried to keep the set fun and breezy and Howard Hawks-y and very of the tone of the show.

I'm completely happy and fulfilled in my personal life.
