I honestly never really watch the Emmys.

I do like to play the darker characters; I don't really know why.

It took a lot of time to find my stride, and it was really humbling.

Only twice have I really had a hard time leaving a character. The first was my character in 'Rome' and then in 'Homeland.'

When I got the role in 'Homeland,' it really opened something up. Other people respected me more as an actor, doors were opened, and I understood for the first time that it wasn't personal. All that rejection wasn't personal.

I'm mostly vegetarian.
