I've always felt if my nose were more crooked, critics would focus more on my acting.

I feel the need to endanger myself every so often.

What can I say: I got started on the whole wife-and-kids thing at a young age.

It's become a cliche to think of marriage as a disaster area and a war zone. Although political shows are really popular now, I think what sets this apart is this marriage and this family dynamic, and this way of revealing that people in positions of power or who have public careers are also real people. They have children and lives, and they have to deal with all of the things that everybody else does.

Well, I have a farm in Vermont that's my main residence, where I do lots of digging and mowing, and ride tractors - just so you don't get the wrong idea that I'm too girlie!

It's an actor's job to play all the human conditions - light, dark, and medium.

I have this burgeoning reputation for playing a scumbag.
