For me, it was more a dramatic shift to go from the stage to the screen.

I don't think closeted homosexual morticians have the market cornered on self-loathing or sense of shame.

I never really considered acting as a career until I moved to New York.

People feel like they know me from the work I have done, but it's not me.

I like to think I am well-mannered. If I have the option at a breakfast place, I'll go with the grits. That's how Southern I am.

I think I had a shyness about me, I think I discovered acting as a way to break out of that and as a way of belonging, a sense of being special.

I certainly know there are people in positions of power in the business who lack imagination and, perhaps as a result of that, think of me as 'David'. But I wouldn't really want to work with those people, you know?
