I grew up in the theater, and you can't improvise Shakespeare and Ibsen. You have to speak the language. But obviously, in a contemporary film, there's often room for improvisation and spontaneous things that happen. As long as I know what I'm trying to achieve in the scene, and when something comes up, I know that the response is genuine, I'm comfortable. That's really how I build everything.

When I first read the script a few years ago I thought it was one of the best written scripts I had ever read.

I believe that acting in any medium is the same thing, it's discovering the truth in where you are.

I have no interest in directing. I've no talent for it.

I've been amazed that it's so popular with people. But it's been fantastic. People are very excited when I walk into a place and they recognize me from the series.

I had done some TV movies that were great experiences but, no, I wasn't looking to do a series.

We, some cast members and I, even went on a weekend trip together and spent the weekend at an inn, because we enjoy each other's company so much, and it was so cool.
