I still live my life the way that I want to live it, and people are very respectful of my space, but they also want to chat, and I quite like chatting.

I like storytelling, and I feel more confident as the years have gone on about my ability to do that.

For violent people to make themselves vulnerable, and then to have that vulnerability be used against them, bad things can happen.

I listen to music cinematically. I think about music and how it would make me feel when it's put to an image, a moving image, and I love it.

I'm drawn to villains that are three-dimensional and raw and that I can kind of see in my own life.

I have a bit of a bucolic kind of upbringing, and so I certainly bring an amalgamation of different people that I've met over the course of my life, especially before moving to Los Angeles, so I guess my childhood was my homework in a lot of ways for Harlan County.

I do not have the angst and the anxiety of my youth. I've gotten to a place where I'm very comfortable with who I am.
