grotesque movies slasher
Psychological horror I've always appreciated, like 'Rosemary's Baby.' The slasher movies and the grotesque movies are the ones that I've really been off for a while.
movies walked
I don't go to horror movies. I walked out of 'The Exorcist,' man.

Evil is important for us to look at, in my opinion, only insofar as it makes us look at our own actions and make us wonder, 'Am I participating in some kind of human evil that I really should stop doing?'
turnaround
'Fargo' was the turnaround for me, in terms of film, because it was a part; it wasn't a line.
afraid capable darkness fear glad hope horror people
The fear that you come to a show called 'American Horror Story' with is yours. That being said, I'm glad people are afraid, and I hope that I'm contributing to their fear. I'm really not afraid of my own darkness anymore. I'm not afraid of what I'm capable of.

Is fame without purpose and is fame without talent really where we are now? People used to be famous for what they did. Now, they're just famous.
harms
You can have the most wonderful motives for what you do, but if what you do harms other people, you're fooling yourself.

Two actors who have different motivations and skill sets can work together and be magic. Charles Grodin and Robert DeNiro technically couldn't work more differently, and yet they made 'Midnight Run,' which is a genius comedy.
