If you see me in New York, you'll probably see me on my bicycle riding furiously between a city bus and a taxi cab, hitting one of them on the side and yelling at them.

Comic-Con is a special kind of crazy.

I was a fan of 'Six Feet Under' and was very sad when it ended, so I was not ready to switch my allegiance to another show. So I was like, 'I'm not watching this 'True Blood.' Then a friend got a bootleg copy of the first four episodes, and by the third one, I was irrevocably hooked.

I think it was 1987 – something like that – or ’86, and I thought, ‘When you go equity and you’re gonna get paid, you’ll finally be able to make a living.’ But it was not to be so. I always bartended and waited tables so I ended up not doing theater for about a year because nobody would hire me.

For all the import and message of ‘The Iliad,’ it’s ultimately a story that’s meant to be heard, and the person hearing ‘The Iliad’ determines what it means.

I read five books on the Constitution. My favorite was ‘Plain, Honest Men’ by Richard Beeman. I went on a science jag in the same way. I kept getting in arguments about evolution and being bested. So I read Charles Darwin’s ‘On the Origin of the Species,’ a fantastic book that is not that difficult.

I read ‘Dracula’ in high school. I’ve been around vampires forever.

We see images of people being beheaded on TV. That’s not a thing that you see all the time. That’s a different kind of scary. Unfortunately, some of the scary stuff is political, and that’s a change from our past.

I hate singing. I hate dancing. I enjoyed doing ‘Cabaret’ and ‘Assassins,’ but I would wither up and die in ‘The Music Man.’

I think all the characters in ‘American Horror Story,’ which is why I love it, are looking for some sense of meaning, and also it’s their form of happiness.
