I'm Carys Anna Maria for WIRED,

with Norman Reedus who plays Daryl Dixon

on The Walking Dead.

What's up?

How's it going?

It's going good.

Walking Dead, I mean this is a

huge phenomenon, obviously.

Getting to your character, do you identify with him?

Y know, I mean I'm awkward like him,

you know, I have trouble expressing

my feelings like him.

If you drop me off in the middle of the woods,

I'd probably just curl up in a ball and cry.

No survival instincts?

Zero, like, none!

You know, yeah.

So, you do not think you'll fare well

in a zombie apocalypse?

Not unless there's an Uber, Uber car close to me.

I'm kind of a wimp.

Yeah, I mean I tell people I'd just,

I'd probably break into a hotel

and watch South Park until I just starved to death.

Why don't they ever do that on the show?

I don't know, they should. It sounds like a good idea.

I don't know, I guess it would be boring

to watch somebody watch South Park

until they get skinny and die.

But, no I'm not, I mean in some ways

I am, and I bring a lot of myself to the character.

And they're very gracious with us

to allow us to put our own input

into the character, and where the storyline

goes to a certain extent.

And then sometimes they're like, Norman

shut up, that's the worst idea

I've ever heard in my life.

So, I mean, it's a give and a take

and it's you know, there's not a weak link

in our chain right now.

It's a great job.

And thanks so much for being here with me.

My pleasure.
