Notes Are Tricky In An

I Graduated In '94 From Yale And New York Undercover Was My First Gig On Tv. I Was Really All Over The Place With Roles, Which Is What I Wanted To Do.

Most Of The Characters I'd Played Were So Different From Me, So Far From Me That I Had To Transform.

That's What David Caruso Said To Me. We Were Talking About The Whole Emmy Thing, And He Said That One Of The Things About Awards In This Town Is That A Lot Is About The Drama - Like The Drama Of The Performance. And He Said "your Show, The Wire, Looks So Real, It Almost Looks Like A Documentary. And People Who Aren't Artists - A Lot Of People Who Vote For This Stuff - Don't Get It."

You Either Get Better, Or You Don't Progress.

In Drama School, My Greatest Strength Was My Range. So My Early Career Was Like That: I Played All Kinds Of Different Characters.
