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.

Charlie Brown's good. I always had a little crush on that Lucy. I thought she was kind of a hot little brunette.

Now, more then ever, we have the ability to make films for almost nothing and that's broken down all barriers of entry. I think it's a new golden age of film-making. With that, there needs to be the ability to recoup investment dollars, people need to make money.

If I could act in theater, my whole life, and never act in film or television again, and just direct the rest of my life, I would gladly do that.

I was like, what the hell is my life coming to? I'm a trained actor! I've done Shakespeare and here I am having farting contests with an imaginary dog!

It's always fun to play a bad guy because you get more to do. It's more arch. There's more energy to throw into it.
