HBO does something that most networks don’t do which is give a show a chance to find their voice.

Unless an entire row of people got up in the middle of a performance and left the theater in disgust, I felt as though I hadn’t done my job.

One person’s success doesn’t take away from your own.

I’m one of these people who would rather show you than tell you through the performance.

When you play a character with power and energy, people lock into that and go, “Oh, this must be the guy.”

There are so many great directors that I haven’t worked with and that I would love to work with.

The stage is my love, it’s where I started and where I do my best work.

For so much of my career I’ve been trying to find little things and make something out of it.

Yet the reality is that I’m a stage actor from the Midwest – probably the opposite of a shark agent.

I like to box. It’s a great release.
