I have never had more fun in my life playing a character than I've had playing Michael Langdon. He's so delicious. He's so layered and complicated.
I don't have a Twitter, so I don't know what's happening in that world.
With 'Horror Story', it really was, 'You're going to run; you're going to jump off this cliff, and trust that that Ryan Murphy is going to catch you.' So I just ran head-on into it and jumped off the edge of that cliff.
I'm not a religious person, but I read the Bible many years ago.
One of my favorite films is 'Let the Right One In.'
I'm a very positive person in my life. I'm very optimistic.
I grew up in a very small country town, so I was exposed to horses at quite a young age, but I used to cry and run; they seemed so powerful and so unpredictable.
I told my agent that I wouldn't do TV unless it was Ryan Murphy, 'House of Cards,' or HBO.
I would want to do a role like the one Ezra Miller had in 'We Need To Talk About Kevin.' That is a real juicy role.
When I was at uni, I got good grades and went on to do honours, but I kept thinking, 'I shouldn't be here.' Something just didn't feel right. When I finished, I decided that every decision I make from this day forward will be purely based on intuition, and I'm not going to fight that.
I've known since I was about six that I wanted to be an actor, but I grew up in a very small country town, and it was just not something that was possible.
If people hate Michael Langdon, that's a good thing. I'm not going to debate that. I don't worry about making him likeable... My real focus in playing Langdon is making his intentions clear and how he operates and what his mission is and how he shapes the perception of who he is around people.
What I can say, categorically, is that working with Sarah Paulson and Kathy Bates will have been the most formative experience for me, as an actor, for the rest of my life.
The thing about working on a Ryan Murphy TV show is that he has such an extraordinary collective of artists, so everyone is really like a family.
I grew up in a town with just under three hundred people in Western Australia. When you think about being six hours outside the second most isolated city in the world, which is Perth, and then you think about the town that I'm from, which is called Southern Cross, acting is not a possibility.
I find the whole idea of religion overwhelming and frightening and not for me.
For me, I can't play a metaphor or a symbol.
I've tried to shut myself off as much as possible from the hype of 'War Horse,' and just thought, 'OK, I'm going to focus on the character and focus on the story and focus on what I have to do.'
I just think that women make better actors; I just do. I think it's undeniable.
I love Robin Wright so much. She's one of my favorite actresses; she's incredibly powerful.
