I'm An Artist At Heart.

A Very Odd Thing Happened To My Career When I Got The Wire. My Career Was Pretty Much A Steady Climb; I Didn't Really Flatline Much. When I Did The Wire, That's When I Thought All The Doors Would Open, But That's When Things Flatlined. I Had A Really Hard Time Just Getting Seen For Film, Which Was The Next Step.

I Can Only Speak As An American, But Most Journalism Here Isn't Doing Its Job Any More. It's About Selling Stuff.

Notes Are Tricky In An Audition, Because I Find, More Often Than Not, My Instinct Is Right. If They Have A Preconceived Notion About The Role And It Goes Against My Instinct, Unless It Makes Sense To Me, It Often Throws Off What I'm Trying To Do. Though Sometimes They Have An Insight That I Don't Because They've Been Living With The Script. I Don't Have One Feeling Or Another About Notes, But It Is Always A Little Bit Of A Red Alert When I Get One In An Audition.

Art Is Art, And Journalism Is Journalism.

I Was Coming From A Theater Background. I Had An Obsession With Classic Film And Cool, Interesting, Intelligent Television. I Didn't Really Understand The Way The Mainstream Television Industry Worked. I Just Thought "the Wire Is So Good That It's Going To Be A Huge Hit, And We'll Get Awards Up The Yin-yang Forever." That's What I Thought!
