Its a really wonderful thing to focus your life on something other than your own personal career and ambition.
If you ignore the murdering and the conniving, Francis Underwood is an effective politician.
If you look back through history in the United States, there have been very few landslide elections. Half the country always voted for someone else.
If there is one thing I object to, its actors talking about how tough their jobs are.
If you wanna compete, youve got to get into the original content game.
Im not revolted by Washington.
If someone can watch an entire season of a TV series in one day, doesnt that show an incredible attention span?
Meeting the person you are going to be playing is very unique.
