I Look At A Pilot And Go,

Anybody Who Is Rude To Anyone In The Service Industry Is Automatically Out.

I Think Your Text [script] Is Everything; It's What Informs You; It's What Gives You The Given Circumstances. Then You Take That And You Add Your Own Creativity And Your Own Spin On Things And You Make It Personal. That's What Makes That Character And That Text Unique To You, When You Personalize It. I Think That's Where Your Job As An Actor Comes In.

I Think When You Play A Role, You Always Have To Be A Defense Attorney For That Character.

What We Really Have To Do Is Stop The Adjective Before The Job Title — Whether It's 'black Actor,' A 'gay Actor' Or 'anything Actor,' Everybody Thinks That Equality Comes From Identifying People, And That's Not Where Equality Comes From. Equality Comes From Treating Everybody The Same Regardless Of Who They Are. I Hope The Media And The Press Catches On To That Because It's Time To Move Out Of 1992.

For Every Role, I Brought Certain Elements Of The Character. Even On White Collar Over Six Years, I Tried To Keep The Set Fun And Breezy And Howard Hawks-y And Very Of The Tone Of The Show.
