Quotes

I don't want to be more famous than what I have right now. At least in that sense where people come up to me in the grocery store.

I'm really into antiques. But really into it because of my father, who got me into them in the first place. He's an interior designer and he's really into going to antique shows and getting up really early on Sundays and driving out to these weird little towns north of Hamilton. I am also really into religious artifacts.

[on social media] Like most of us do, I have a love/hate thing with it. Because I'm an actor, I get a lot of pressure to be on social media more, but I'm not super present on it. I have an Instagram account, but it's locked because I have two kids and I don't really feel comfortable having the world see my children. They didn't ask to be seen, but if I'm working on a TV show or a movie, I'm expected to help promote it by posting pictures of it or of my life, but the latter is not something that I'm comfortable with.

[on Murder in the First (2014)'s "freshness"] I love the fact that in every season we kept a few core characters, but everyone else is brand new. That felt really different and exciting as an actor. Sometimes, when you do a job for a show like this and it goes on and on, you can be like, "Oh, it feels like I'm doing the same thing week in, week out," but with this, each season felt like a brand new show. You have no idea where it's going to go. Of course, it's sad to see certain people go whom you love; like, we're not going to see Tom Felton anymore. He was a guy who, in the first season, we all fell in love with. We hated to see him leave, but he had to leave because that kind of thing is what gives the show such an energy.

I've always had a real morbid fascination with serial killers. Serial killers past and present would be super interesting to me. I've always been drawn to that kind of stuff, from a character perspective.

Develop the hide of a rhinoceros to protect the soul of the rose. When you are constantly allowing yourself to be witnessed, judged, and rejected, it's very important to protect yourself and learn to become your own best friend. There is no room for people-pleasing in art.
