I would say what Mad Men has taught me has been a super elevated evaluation of text in general, and understanding subtext, and understanding where a character comes from - what he means by this or by that.

For the beginning of my career, I was always playing people younger than me.

I live in Los Angeles, which is the youngest place - there's no history to Los Angeles. Everything's fake.

I was a weird kid.

I grew up in a small town in Washington State, so I wasn't really aware of costume design as a career growing up, but I loved clothes. I remember I saved all my money, and the first thing that I bought was a white blazer, which was to the horror to my parents. But I have always had a strange connection with clothing.

I love singing fun songs; I've built a career on them.

Going to the Portland Trail Blazers, who actually took the time to invest in me, was perhaps the best thing that ever happened to me in my career. I got to a small market where I could focus on basketball, basketball, basketball. No distractions.

I hope that people look at my whole career and appreciate that I've given everything that I've got.
