Everything looks more beautiful in retrospect.

When I was growing up, my parents took in foster children. From a young age, I learned that there are a lot of children in need.

It was very fortuitous that the show [True Detective] actually spans seventeen years - so as I was getting older on the show, I was gaining weight. When I'm playing fifty, I'm ten pounds heavier! I don't know if they thought maybe I was method? But it actually worked to my benefit.

I have a lot of fun. I'm passionate about what I do. I really love that.

Religion is something that is very well intentioned, for all intents and purposes, for everyone around the world, but sometimes it can start to get warped.

"OK, well everyone makes a mistake, right?" But then when you think it probably happened again that's when you think: "Shame on you once and shame on me twice, or however that saying goes." But everyone's been down that road. It's not about the little things anymore, but the major things that tell you if you don't move on at that point then I'm a fool.

I've never felt limited by my circumstances, no matter what they were. Even when I was living in Iowa, it wasn't like I had big dreams, but it wasn't that I felt I couldn't have any. I always felt very capable.
