There are a lot of times that if a detail in a scene or a beat, feels unnatural, they'll allow me to explore another direction to go until we're all comfortable with what we are doing.

Whenever I didn't have a job, I studied acting, I sent out tapes, went on auditions.

I feel like I have a lot of dedication to the acting profession.

I grew up in a pretty small town in Texas, population 8,000, and we had a lot of open spaces.

I have been constantly shaping and reshaping my career. I laid a foundation by doing respectful work in all media. And I am happy with what I have done.

There's this narrative that is entrenched in some of the professions that there's this mysterious thing called 'socioeconomic status' that is immutably correlated with health. And it isn't.

There is no external means, whether it's my career, or money or house or a wife or anything, that is going to set me right.

I work really hard. My daughter asks me what I do, and it's mostly calls, emails, and meetings. We have our office in Hayes Valley, a nice part of town, because we're all about place being important.
