I've gotten pretty good at leaving characters on the set. I go home and try to relax and regroup and be ready for the next day.

I'll speak for myself, but there's a lot of humor to be found in sarcasm and darkness. You talk to any paramedic, they survive by developing a pretty off-kilter sense of humor.

Without mentioning any names, I looked at pretty much every story that may come to your mind about a politician on the rise who was stopped short or dragged down by personal flaws and then became just a media storm. I see this as a thing that continues to happen in America and I wanted to say something about that.

I think I've spent more time in front of a camera than off camera. That's just the way it is.

Everything we do impacts someone else's life.
