Private education can give you confidence, which is marvellous; a sense of entitlement isn't.

I'm very blue collar myself. So it was easy for me to embody that in a sense. It's much harder for me to embody Norrell than it is to embody Terry Donovan.

When you watch 'Ray Donovan,' you think that it's about Hollywood, about scandal, about stars, and about trying to keep secrets. That's true, but that's also just the means by which you reveal secrets of the people suffering every day life.

Acting was a way of me finding myself, which I think is the case of a lot of actors, regardless of where they come from.

I'm like a mechanic. If you break down and phone the AA, they'll come to you whether it's raining or snowing. That's what an actor should do.

If your character doesn't express himself or doesn't feel confident expressing himself, then you don't express yourself.
