'Homeland' is not a sensationalist show.

'Homeland' really is one of those shows where they start to write more or less depending on what's kind of going on in a relationship between characters.

I miss London on nights in June or in October.

I'm quite handy with a screwdriver. I like making and fixing things.

Everyone knows 'Smash' is about musical numbers, and everyone knows we have fantastic dance sequences and great performances.

It's very different working on stage to film; the immediacy is there on stage.

There isn't really a theatre culture in L.A., which is odd when there are so many brilliant actors there.

Everyone thinks with 'Smash,' because it looks glossy and big, they think they're spending a fortune, and they think it's taking weeks to shoot.

I think fidelity is absolutely important, especially in the acting industry, which is littered with broken relationships because people are away filming for months.

There are so few shows that are willing to take risks with their characters in the way that 'Homeland' does. And yet, the audience still comes back and loves those characters.
