To be able to pretend to be something that I'm frankly not is very liberating and exciting.

As a real person, he wouldn't last a minute, would he? But drama is about imperfection. And we've moved away from the aspirational hero. We got tired of it, it was dull. If I was House's friend, I would hate it. How he so resolutely refuses to be happy or take the kind-hearted road. But we don't always like morally good people, do we?

I feel like I'm working on an oil rig right now. I'm away from home a lot.
