The Walking Dead’s Andrew Lincoln (Rick Grimes) Interview About Season 3 And A Sneak Peek To The Conclusion

Last night was the amazing mid-season 3 finale to The Walking Dead. It was crazy!! Guns blazing, shocking revelations and I wanted more!! I'm so anxious for the conclusion which airs Sunday February 10th 2013!! This is what Andrew Lincoln had to say in his latest interview about The Walking Dead.

Q: Now that The Walking Dead is in its third season, what aspects of the show still surprise you?

A: The show just surprises me and brutalizes me. I was just taking toScott Wilson, and we were just riffing on how extraordinary how this show is. The only downer is the fact that we lose people. You make these incredibly brilliant and intense relationships with truly gifted actors and invariably they get bitten, and I have to kill them. And it is kind of the big downer on what is becoming the single greatest job of my career. In the space of three years I've done more gymnastics on this show then I have in probably four or five years. It's been an incredible journey, and I wouldn't change it for the world, although it would have been nice to have a couple of more seasons with Sarah Wayne Canes Callies

Q: After Lori dies, Rick goes through a total mental breakdown. What's it like to lose your mind?

A: If they kill my wife, you know what I mean, it's the real deal for me. She deserved everything.  I came into the writers' room and said, "What do you think Rick's breaking point is?" And this is what they came up with. I wanted to drop the gun, I wanted to fall, all of these things, and I wanted you to see this man who has led these people and been so strong, fall to the ground broken. I had an acting teacher who always said that even when you're ripping your guts out with emotion, it should be catharsis. Not many people get to do that in their lives full-stop.

Q: In Episode 8, Rick finally gets to see Woodbury. What was your take on the town? 

A: I hate Woodbury! I actively feel nauseous when I go there. I hate everybody in it, I just can't stand to look at the place. I love the prison, it's beautiful.
