I like the fact that a modern television and modern drama on cable has characters that are really intricate and deep and have multiple layers.

When I was in high school, I was the guy directing plays after class. I started my first theater company at 19, and my second theater company at 21. I've always been a guy who doesn't do well with the passive nature of being an actor.

I've always been a guy that doesn't do well waiting for people to say, "You can act." It's always been a part of me.

I don't go to parties. I don't go to clubs. My friends and I don't go drinking, we play D&D. I'm still a weird entity in the world.

I think everyone is given drama, by virtue of the fact that we all have drama in our lives, but not everyone can make people laugh.

I've really enjoyed the independent film world. I've had a blast. But, the reality is that I really want to make bigger movies. If I could make movies that carry great characters and great performances and great pathos, and can have an explosion or two, that would be fine with me.

When you're making an independent film what you don't have in time and money you have to make up with creativity and diligence.
