Quotes By Aaron Stanford

You always take a little bit back with you at the end of the day. I always put a little bit of myself into the characters, too. You find parallels, points of connection, things like that. But I'm not an actor who gets so incredibly haunted by my characters that I can't come back.

But a lot of shows, they pose questions and they give you a puzzle where there's no solution.
