The luxury of television is that you get more than one shot at who you think the guy is that you're playing.

I think now that I'm in the autumn of my life, and I'm getting a chance of having an overview and looking at the shape of how things happen, when things happen, why things happen, I think it was fitting that I spent most of my early career doing mask work, because I just don't think I was that comfortable in my own skin.

I'm fully aware that things that resonate and become real hits are the exception to the rule, so much so that I've wired myself for failure.

That's always been Guillermo's preference, is to have as much there practically as is humanly possible, and that digital graphic images are more a punctuation mark than they are a replacement.

I love to continue to challenge myself and put myself in situations that are slightly uncomfortable.

The approach to acting is always the same, you try to figure who the guy is and then you try to transition your way into his way of thinking and moving through the world. The rest of it is just accoutrements, you don't play the makeup, you play the guy. If you're not wearing makeup, you just play the guy.

I'll walk through fire to do what I do because the movie business, when it's right, is the coolest art form ever invented.
