crew intense knew people weird year
I knew how intense it was going to be. But as we started to make it - the first year - even crew people would say weird things to me.
time
It's not the first time I had to get in drag, ... Oz.
struggle character thinking
I would say that playing this character has caused me to think about a lot of things. He's always questioning himself and trying to get back to something he lost touch with and trying to find forgiveness. Everybody struggles with these things to some extent in their life.
character fighting people
What it made me realize was that a show like this makes people look inside themselves. Because this crew guy isn't sitting there wishing the character would fight back. He's hoping that he would fight back.
divorce years shooting
I went through a divorce right as we were starting the show. My divorce became final right after we started shooting the first year, and during that time I was in such a low place.
survivor said
I have always said about myself I am a survivor because I am.
guy mustache edginess
Eddie Drake is sort of this loose cannon, funny, edgy guy, who has this really foolish, foolish mustache.
thinking cells people
I know what it's like to be ignored, and I think that is the big problem about the prison system: These people are being thrown away. There is no sense of rehabilitation. In some places, they are trying to do things. But, in most cases, it's a holding cell.
ifs tumors
If God's in me, he's a tumor.
