Over the years, I've spent a lot of time in Washington. It's a great theater town.
Edward Norton and I have known each other awhile. I just think he's the real deal, supremely talented and smart. He's got a great sense of humor.
The Old Vic has always been first and foremost an actors' theatre, a home for great talent and memorable performances.
It's a journey towards truthfulness, towards reality. I think that's a wonderful challenge for Kevin Spacey - he's a great actor and what he has demonstrated on film many times is a wonderful truthfulness.
I couldn't imagine something asking as much of me as 'House Of Cards.' It's a great warm-up for coming back to the screen.
Kids aren't growing up with a sense of television as the aspirational place for their ideas.
I write a lot about my experiences and the people I meet. I've got a lot of material. But a book about me? It seems sort of odd.

It's like strapping yourself to a locomotive, and I love it.

'The 24 Hour Plays' is a quite brilliant, exhilarating event for everyone concerned.
Why is 'Game of Thrones' the most pirated show in the history of TV? Because people can't get it fast enough, that's why.
You can almost hear people saying, 'We're going to make a movie about an election' and 'We're going to make a movie about a lobbyist.' You can hear the yawning start across the nation.
When you're just able to distill it down to the idea and the feeling that a character is experiencing in a scene, it can become very, very razor sharp and really clean and really efficient and simple. And sometimes it takes twenty-five years to learn how to be simple.
