Walton Goggins

Like everybody, I've had a lot of pain in my life and I'm a work in progress. You must have a true desire to see the world from a different point of view, and that comes with growing up.

I try to leave a light footprint. I'm involved with Global Green, which aims to educate people about sustainable building and the greening of schools. I try to be aware about the consumption of unnecessary things in a consumptive culture.

No, but there are people I grew up with from the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains that would give any person on 'Justified' a run for their money in the scary department.

I wrote about wasting time, which I suppose is a part of the great human journey. We're supposed to wallow, to go through the desert without water for a long time so that when we finally drink it, we'll truly need it and we won't spill a drop. It's about being present.

I think I'm much too earnest to be as cool as 'Boyd Crowder'.

I do not have the angst and the anxiety of my youth. I've gotten to a place where I'm very comfortable with who I am.

I listen to music cinematically. I think about music and how it would make me feel when it's put to an image, a moving image, and I love it.

I really believe that when you're playing a character that everything is contained in the script. If I'm pulling from things from my own life, then I think I'm being disingenuous to the character and the story.

I'm drawn to villains that are three-dimensional and raw and that I can kind of see in my own life.

The life of a character doesn't just exist between action and cut.

I'm not good at telling a joke, but I can say a line in a certain way that makes people uncomfortable because they don't know whether to laugh or not, and I love that comedy.
