I suppose I've got a reputation for playing quite extreme characters and making them quite believable.

I don't do the whole L.A. nightlife thing.

I'm not a Tony Blair impersonator.

I love watching Jeff Bridges act. He's brilliant.

I enjoy doing things that involve research because it's part of what I enjoy about acting.

Nothing can be left until the last minute, so that everyone knows exactly where they are. Everyone is comfortable and everyone feels safe because we want people to be able to keep coming into this show and taking those risks. There are a lot of risks in this show, not just nudity, but emotional risks. We want the best actors to feel comfortable about coming in and exploring this subject matter with us.

I am prone to get carried away thinking about creative projects.
