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

From Raza Jaffrey

'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.

From Raza Jaffrey

Some actors - myself included - like to know where your character's going: you like to know what the arc is for the character so that you can plan where you're going to give beats for this, that, and the other and give the audience what they want. But on 'Homeland,' you do the opposite.

From Raza Jaffrey

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.

From Raza Jaffrey

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.

From Raza Jaffrey

When I did musicals in London a number of years ago, I was in a workshop scenario for a year or more with 'Bombay Dreams.'

From Raza Jaffrey

When you turn up for work, especially with looking down the barrel of a show, you're hoping the person you're acting opposite of is going to be on your kind of crazy wavelength.
