Before becoming an actor I kind of just wanted to paint and live somewhere and do something low-key and artistic.

I'm more of a listener than a talker.

People are pretty strange.

Damaged people gravitate towards damaged people.

I like people who push the envelope.

Irish is harder to pull off. I know southern people and I really like the midwest, so I can tap into that a little bit. It's easier to sound angry with southern than it is Irish. Yelling Irish you can sound like an angry Leprechaun. I think me screaming like I am going to kill you in Irish doesn't work.

I went from a very pessimistic person to a very optimistic person sort of overnight, which is very weird. It's not even the success of my shows. I think it's the lifestyle change, I really do.
