It's a journey towards truthfulness, towards reality. I think that's a wonderful challenge for Kevin Spacey - he's a great actor and what he has demonstrated on film many times is a wonderful truthfulness.
I couldn't imagine something asking as much of me as 'House Of Cards.' It's a great warm-up for coming back to the screen.
Edward Norton and I have known each other awhile. I just think he's the real deal, supremely talented and smart. He's got a great sense of humor.
