I started acting because I was miserable and crazy and wanted to be someone else, to run around and scream in front of people without getting in trouble.
From Michael Shannon
The stage is a routine. It keeps you grounded, like a metronome. I find that soothing.
There's nothing routine about 'Boardwalk Empire.' It's like being in some secret society where they call you up and tell you where to go: 'Meet us at the corner of such and so.'
I don't pick my roles by genre; that's kind of silly.
I get pretty attached to the majority of the characters I play. I can't help myself.
I've always been happy just to be working. It doesn't really matter for me how many people are familiar with my name or my picture, or whatever.
