I Don't Pick My Roles By Genre;

I Want To Focus On Each Scene. I'm A Real Perfectionist, And I Don't Want To Feel Like I Didn't Consider Every Possible Variation Of A Scene. I Come From A Theater Background, So I'm Used To A Lot Of Repetition, And I'm Used To Really Attacking Something Over And Over And Over Again.

That Could Sound Arrogant, I Guess, But Sometimes I Feel Like I Have A Bit Of A Zelig Thing. I'll Blend In Wherever. I'm From The South, So I'll Have A Southern Accent When I'm Home. But If I'm Up Here In New York, I Have A British Accent.

People Are Morons. I Don't Do Any Social Media Stuff. I Have People Telling Me All The Time, "you Should Do Twitter, You Should Do This, You Should Get On Facebook." Are You Insane? I'm Not Doing Any Of That Crap. I Stay The Hell Off That Thing. Every Once In A While, I Send A Business Email, And That's It.

I Enjoyed Living In Chicago And Doing Plays For Little Or No Money. I Never Actually Thought That I Would Leave Chicago, Originally. I Wasn't One Of Those People That Had A Plan To Pack Up The Van And Drive Out To Hollywood. I Didn't Want To.

There's Nothing Routine About 'boardwalk Empire.' It's Like Being In Some Secret Society Where They Call You Up And Tell You Where To Go: 'meet Us At The Corner Of Such And So.'
