I’m just thankful for my parents blessing me with good genes, I guess.
It’s just a blessing from above. I can’t stress that enough, because I don’t feel like it’s anything that I’ve done. For me to say, ‘Well, it’s because of this, this and that is why I’ve been able to play,’ it’s just a lie. I couldn’t tell you why.

It’s a blessing.

I want to live a good life and pay my taxes. ‘The Killing’ was a blessing. It was two wonderful years.
