For violent people to make themselves vulnerable, and then to have that vulnerability be used against them, bad things can happen.

Image
I have a bit of a bucolic kind of upbringing, and so I certainly bring an amalgamation of different people that I've met over the course of my life, especially before moving to Los Angeles, so I guess my childhood was my homework in a lot of ways for Harlan County.

I aimlessly travel, meaning I have no agenda other than to get small in the world, be quiet and observe people.

You know, I'm from the South, and I wasn't interested in perpetuating a stereotypical southern character.

I'm kind of the funny guy that hopefully kind of wins your heart if I did my job.

I like storytelling, and I feel more confident as the years have gone on about my ability to do that.

Success in TV-showmaking is just a matter of being authentic and doing the best you can, and you hope that people watch it and like it. For us [showmakers], we know where our bread is buttered, and we live by the written word of the critic. That's how shows build a critical mass on cable.

Sadly, in this country - maybe this is in the history of the world, really - it's the urban experience versus the bucolic experience. And it is different, but therein lies the slow progression of democracy. We are a melting pot.

As an actor, you're afforded these experiences that are once-in-a-lifetime for so many people. More often than not, you can't tell the seasons based on the changing of the leaves, but on the experiences you've had.

I do not have the angst and the anxiety of my youth. I've gotten to a place where I'm very comfortable with who I am.

'The Portrait of Dorian Grey' beautifully articulates how the altruistic part of ourselves clashes with our essentially narcissistic state.

If you ever get the opportunity to work with Quentin Tarantino, you had better believe that it will be an experience of extremes.

But probably my favorite music, believe it or not, is sad music.

I try to leave a light footprint. I'm involved with Global Green, which aims to educate people about sustainable building and the greening of schools. I try to be aware about the consumption of unnecessary things in a consumptive culture.

Maybe when you're alone or no one's looking, you dare to think, Maybe someday I could get to work with somebody like Quentin Tarantino. For me, it happened. And it didn't just happen once, it's happened twice.

There is something beautiful and permanent in the world, and that is the love that a person can have for another human being.

I wrote about wasting time, which I suppose is a part of the great human journey. We're supposed to wallow, to go through the desert without water for a long time so that when we finally drink it, we'll truly need it and we won't spill a drop. It's about being present.

I really believe that when you're playing a character that everything is contained in the script. If I'm pulling from things from my own life, then I think I'm being disingenuous to the character and the story.

I've had a great career. I've had a great life. I am truly blessed by my working experiences.
