The beauty of 'The Walking Dead' and the beauty of being on a television show for a while, is that, it's your backstory, it's part of what you are, it's what you carry with you every day.
I knew that we'd have a big following because the graphic novel [ The Walking Dead] is so popular, and I knew that with Frank Darabont and Gale Ann Hurd at the helm that we were doing something very special.
I was pretty nervous when I met Robert Kirkman. It's very strange to meet someone who created you. Andrea [ from The Walking Dead] is still very much alive and kicking, seven years into the comic book, so to meet Robert and be like, "Hi, I'm Andrea," I had to just hope that he was happy with the decision.
The pain doesn't go away, you just make room for it.
Driving through much of the southern part of the U.S. reminds me of where I grew up in Canada. The trees, homes, sense of community... I love the South.
I think there's a collective consciousness around the world that there are things beyond our control that have the power to annihilate us, as a species, and it's all rather frightening.
It's a really dark, emotionally wrenching world that we've created on 'The Walking Dead.'
I love my 'Walking Dead' family. This is the best job I ever had.
I feel defensive about my character because I really love Andrea, and we share the same heart.
I've had a quite a few nightmares about being chased by walkers.
I'm not a runner. I do not like running. I love to swim. I love to surf. I do not like to run.
I'm a bit of a scaredy cat. Personally, I don't like to be kept up at night.
I'm just attracted to good material and great characters and that can come in any form, whether it's television or film or a theatre piece.
Well, people fall in love with the wrong guy all the time, it doesn't make them bad people.
