“There’s something special about being on film sets; there’s an excitement; the people in every department are passionate about what they do.”

I get to play out all kinds of bad behavior without anyone actually coming to harm.

I think having the opportunity to get inside the skin of people that operate outside the law and normal moral and ethical restraints, and then to go home afterwards leaving them on set, is pretty cathartic.

For me, if the writing and – by extension – the subject matter and the characters are all good, it doesn’t matter if it’s film or TV. Each medium has great things going for it.

I like people and I like hearing their stories. The way that they deliver them is always very particular and I think that their accents are integral to that.

As a younger actor coming up, I wanted to be in films.

[Playing] the bad guys tend to be fascinating. Figuring out what makes them do the things they do is what interests me.

I’ve always wanted a ‘Full House’ reunion, so when you see stuff like this comes back, it’s super exciting.

Actually, I’ve always wanted to be a professional skateboarder ever since I was about six.

No one wanted a job. No one could hold a job. You tend to see those going hand in hand.

I never wanted to be run of the mill.

What you ain’t never understood is that I ain’t got nothing, don’t own nothing, ain’t never really wanted nothing that wasn’t for you. There ain’t nothing as precious to me…There ain’t nothing worth holding on to, money, dreams, nothing else–

Personally, I feel that in my own work I wanted to look programmed or impersonal but I don’t really believe I am being impersonal when I do it. And I don’t think you could do this.

I wanted to be a cartoonist when I was young.

Being raised in Iowa, I know what a cornfield does for me, and I wanted to have that same kind of feeling for the Ramapo Mountains.
