Gaming is going into storytelling. It was a new audience.
If you look back through history in the United States, there have been very few landslide elections. Half the country always voted for someone else.
The work of John Lennon was marked by its exquisite beauty and by its brutal honesty.
I think what we have seen in terms of gay teenagers committing suicide because of bullying is anguishing. I think young people, if they are feeling like they are confused, need to know that there are people to talk to and that there are places they can go and not feel alone. But I feel that they have just as many rights as I do to not be bullied.
I was not a studious kid, and I struggled to find things that would command my attention and engage my ideas and energies.
I certainly identify with the role of mentor and, to some degree, maybe teacher. I do a lot of work with kids at the Old Vic.
I couldnt imagine something asking as much of me as House Of Cards. Its a great warm-up for coming back to the screen.
I cotton to the idea that people are much closer to being flawed; they have problems and dont always make the right choices.
I dont even think in terms of ambition.
I have always believed that the risk takers are eventually rewarded.
I guess Ive been training in the theater for as long as I can remember.
I have talked to more people who are in politics who have said to me, "[House of Cards] is closer than you can imagine. It's the most accurate description of how politics actually works that we've ever seen." I mean, West Wing - beautiful, wonderful idea of how democracy should work. But I've had more people in politics say they think House of Cards is closer. I - don't know whether to take that as a compliment or a sad state of affairs.
I remember meeting the likes of Johnny Carson and Jimmy Stewart for the first time and being completely starstruck.
Its a really wonderful thing to focus your life on something other than your own personal career and ambition.
