Claire Danes is lovely and a really great actress.

One of the great things about playing a fallible superhero, one who doesn't necessarily have superpowers, is that the stakes are raised by the prospect of them perishing.

The great thing about doing a play is you get this rehearsal period, which you don't get with most film and television roles.

I've struggled for confidence and had great doubts about myself. But, personally, I'm not riddled with guilt.

I'm really grateful for the opportunity I had on 'Boardwalk Empire,' just because it was very different than anything I'd done onscreen.

I really fell into drama school - I had a lot of lot of luck. I didn't take criticism very well while I was there; in fact, I took it personally. With every note I got, I felt like they were telling me I was a bad person.
