As someone with a novelistic background, I just didn't have much interest in creating stories by committee. I don't think you necessarily get the best story through that approach.

Certain experiences you can't survive, and afterward you don't fully exist, even if you failed to die.

I find the constraints of drama actually freeing: It brings everything down to character and action.

Art was always for me an escape and a way to relate to the world around me.

There's never been anything I didn't love that I didn't connect with on a personal level because to some degree, I projected upon it.

For me as a storyteller, I want to follow the characters and the story through what they organically demand.

You can't really judge an actor's abilities by their career, because the business is going to pigeonhole people into whatever turns a profit, and no artist is less in charge of how their work is presented than an actor, the appeal of Vince was that within a great naturalism, he can convey fierce intelligence, complex emotion, and a real warmth married to a real edge, strength and vulnerability and danger and humor. There are essential contradictions at work that makes him fascinating to watch.
