It's interesting to play a role where you don't really have to preoccupy yourself with any need to convince yourself that you're not acting.

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

Honestly, I think some of my family members of a certain generation were more skittish about me playing a gay character on Six Feet Under than watching me play a killer.

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

Marriage, children-you never expect it to end in tragedy. Unless you're me.

I think anybody would be hard pressed not to relate to at least one of the characters, because there's so many different multifaceted people populating this crazy world.

I'm very focused on "Dexter" right now. I want to make it as good of a show as we can.
