After 'Game of Thrones,' having a character like that, that's like the pinnacle of your career.
I had such an amazing experience on 'The Pillowman' that it was hard to think what else is going to live up to that.
The first big lead that I had on Broadway was in a show called La Strada.
Fate destined me to play Fagin. It was the part of a lifetime, and I was the only actor to be in the stage production and in the film.
Cinderella is making her Broadway debut. It's an honor to step into that position and, in that way, I am creating a role because it's never been done on Broadway. I feel so honored.
There has been one defining production for me in each decade.
I don't play long parts. They must be short parts, but they've got to be parts that mean something, that matter, where people will notice when I'm on the screen, and people will remember the character after they've seen the film.
My most memorable role would have to be Agnes Calay of 'Forevermore,' probably because it was my first lead role.
When I got the job on 'Cursed Child,' I was doing another show in the West End, and I was playing a part that Marlon Brando had played.
Malik Monk is special. Special.
Good scores are valuable, but centuries stick in the mind. There are influential people who might not notice a good innings of 60 or 70, but they will react if you get a hundred.
Robert Whittaker has really opened eyes, look what he's doing.
You either have to be great or you have to be bad to get a good pick.
For an actor to have a role that they're recognized and remembered for over the years, it's unusual. It's very lucky if it happens once - and it's luck that it's happened to me a couple of times.
If, when I leave this earth, I'm remembered for 'Fargo,' so be it. But I think old Marge Gunderson is gonna get a run for her money with Olive Kittredge.
I would love to be nominated for an award at some point or do something that at least engenders the type of cultural conversation that a role like Giancarlo Esposito on 'Breaking Bad,' or actually any of the people on 'Breaking Bad.' I would love to have a role in a feature film that was a cultural talking point.
As an actor, I want to do something I will be remembered for. I think 'Maaya' is that kind of film.
'Fargo' was the turnaround for me, in terms of film, because it was a part; it wasn't a line.
It's nice to have a signature role.
