I grew up in the South, so a huge part of our American History education revolved around the Civil War.

I grew up hunting with shotguns and rifles, and we had a gun in every corner of the living room. I'm not a gun advocate, but that's the way I grew up.

I grew up in a place where a lot of my friends had horses, so I grew up riding. But I'm not an expert.

I don't care about sympathy. I care about playing a character who's understandable and clear.

Life fundamentally does not change depending on work or fame or success.

I like my work to stand on its own as much as possible.
