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 think anybody's who's ever traveled to Paris or any sort of older European city will get caught up in the romance of the history and the ghosts you're surrounded by every day.
