I've been trying to take this journey over the last four years of getting away from playing manipulative and villainous characters and playing characters that are affected by what happens to them as opposed to unaffected.

Over the years, I've been trying to build a relationship with an audience. I've tried to maintain as much of a low profile as I could so that those characters would emerge and their relationship with audiences would be protected.

I don't categorize characters into one syllable. These are fully-rounded characters that I don't judge; I just play them.

I mean we all played as kids. You play games, you take on different characters, you imitate; the fun and the love of play has never left me.

For years, particularly with the advent of the Internet, people have been griping about lessening attention spans.

I might have lived in England for the last several years, but I'm still an American citizen and I have not given up my right to privacy.
