I think with actors, we tend to get rid of characters - and not get rid of them as in discard them or throw them away, but it's just that you take that jacket off because you're going to be putting a different jacket on.

I don't want to impose on anyone else and make anyone else emotional or anything. I tend to quietly cry, kind of turn away.

My job is always going to change; the characters that I'm playing are always going to change. I look forward to playing a grandfather at some point.

For me, what grabs my attention about the project is usually the character immediately and then the story, and then the people that are involved.

I love being around people that contribute. It doesn't matter where the good idea comes from. A good idea is a good idea.

TV is such a success nowadays because it gives back in a way that features can't. If you go to a film, you only get two hours of great storytellers and performers, and you pay top dollar for that. If you're subscribing to premium channels and you're getting all of these amazing TV shows, and you're watching them as you want, where you want, when you want, on what you want, I think that is the "the golden era of TV" in what television shows are offering to audiences. We're giving them a lot more. It's quality.

I was never one to stand on a soap box and say, "This is how you need to live your life!" It was never about that.
