It's pretty tough on your loved ones to try to get back into a rhythm, especially when all you want to do is do nothing.

I'm a trained actor and I can always tone it down, I can always simplify the work I've done. But if I'm asked to bring the nuanced and complicated work, I'll have it in my pocket, and all that information helps.

Sociopaths are more complicated psychopaths; the difference between a sociopath and a psychopath is a sociopath is incredibly charming. There are a lot of sociopaths that are CEOs. They don't necessarily kill people but they're able to walk into a big social function and make everybody think they're the kindest, coolest, smartest, most interesting person in the room.

I'm obsessive about my job and I want it to be as great as it can possibly be, especially right now in these early parts of my career.

I read as many books about the psychology of a psychopath as I could and I researched what exactly happens to soldiers.

I had just come off of doing a play in Los Angeles which actually got me the role. It was called Bent and it was at the Mark Taper Forum. I was playing a homosexual in 1930 to 1934 Berlin who is eventually put into a concentration camp for the second half of the play. I had lost about 38 pounds for that.

I went into very deep research as to what exactly that meant and how sociopaths function psychologically and within the world.
