“There are some people—when they go to a movie or watch a television show—that just want to check out. They want to see something that doesn’t make you feel any real emotion—it’s just comforting. And listen, I have plenty of TV shows that serve that purpose, but when I am choosing roles and things that I want to do, I’d rather make people feel something. And it doesn’t always have to be the most positive, as long as it’s a real reaction, a real emotion.”
