I was always into film, but theater was my entry point. I always felt like film didn't make sense to me, as a kid.

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

My dad was a journalist. He was in Rwanda right after the genocide. In Berlin when the wall came down. He was always disappearing and coming back with amazing stories. So telling stories for a living made sense to me.

I ended up doing literally every television show ever made, for at least a day. It was great to see how that worked. That's how I cut my teeth.

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.

Theater is a way to keep challenging myself.

The entire time I was up shooting 'Suits,' I was running back to my trailer to help get 'Nine Circles' produced. It's a no-brainer for me to keep that part of life alive.
