Yet the reality is that I'm a stage actor from the Midwest - probably the opposite of a shark agent.
I'm just mystified and fascinated by women, and I'm still single. Hence all of that, and the fact that I celebrate them so much, I understand that I'm unevolved at this exact moment to share my life with one. I wouldn't inflict that upon anyone yet. But, I'm getting closer.
It's your job as an actor to fill out the blanks. I love doing that. To fill in the bones.
I want to be radical on the inside, but not on the outside.
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.
I'm a stage actor. That is what I do.
We all deal with issues of time. The first thing you do in the morning is look at the clock to see what time it is.

Sometimes - this is a tough one - not everyone can handle the truth. Sometimes you have to take a beat. But if you can take that beat, and take the high road, it'll serve you in the long run.
People need to know you have to walk through that rejection, and it's only going to fuel you. If you can somehow look at it like it's a gift, you're just going to regroup, and work harder, and go deeper. So just embrace it.
I've been a fan of hip-hop for a really long time, and I still am.
