Killing characters on television has become an easy short cut to cathartic emotion.

I didn't come to Hollywood to be subservient to anyone else's vision.

You just do the best you can, and when you're able to connect with people, and when you do, it's just incredibly gratifying.

Most television shows are going to require an actor sign up from four to six years, but an anthology show really amounts to five or six months at the most. I thought serious actors might be attracted to that.

Some people, no matter where they look, they see themselves.

Whatever I watched, whatever I loved in 36 years of life on Earth, probably had some influence on me.

If landscape is a character for me, then it helps if I'm familiar with it and I already have a take on it.
