Anytime I met an actor, I just attacked them and said, 'How did you do this?' Eventually, I began to realize that you went to school for it. I wasn't a bright kid, so it took me a long time to figure that out.

I like the chance to work on material. Sometimes it helps to not be going into a room cold and to know people.

I'm really blessed with the people in my life who keep me on track and keep pushing me forward.

I just love shows that don't hand everything to you, that ask you to be smarter. I think that's something really important that HBO has done to change the landscape of TV.

I was really a charmer; I was the guy who would get to the office, the principal would sit me down and within 10 minutes, we'd be, like, talking about some movies or something.

Film and television was so strange to me because I didn't grow up in the business, I didn't know anything about it.
