1 |
Damaged people tend to gravitate towards damaged people. |
2 |
I'm still insecure, but when I first started acting, I was really insecure. I glared at a lot of people. I assumed everyone hated me. Somehow that scowl has turned into an acting career. |
3 |
The dogs with the loudest bark are the ones that are most afraid. |
4 |
I've always said it's interesting to watch devils cry when angels want to stab you in the back. I like that mixture. |
5 |
When you do television, you have this opportunity to drop these subtle hints everywhere. The way you say things for example, sometimes those seeds turn into trees. |
6 |
You can't not look cool with a crossbow. |
7 |
I literally have three boxes of presents. My son's room is nothing but Daryl Dixon paintings, dolls, lighters, tattoos and panties. It's pretty ridiculous. It's fun. The Boondocks fans are pretty ferocious, as well. But, I get more Walking Dead stuff now. It's a bonus for me. The same group of people like both things. It's overwhelming to be honest. |
