Filming for the seventh season of "The Walking Dead" is well underway, and Jeffrey Dean Morgan -- who plays fan-favorite character Negan -- is ready to let loose. Negan, who is known for his colorful vocabulary, pushes the boundaries of what AMC usually permits in its shows, but Morgan promises he is pushing that limit as far as he can.

"We push it as far as what I can and can't say," Morgan told Entertainment Weekly. "I'll throw in 's---'s and 'hell's and 'Jesus Christ's and 'Goddamn's everywhere I can, but even that there's a limit to. Then they turn me loose. Someone will say, 'Okay, it's time.' That's all I need to know. That's when I just go f---ing nuts and I'll add all the f---s and all the original Negan language. So I memorize it two ways: I learn what's okay for TV and then I learn the Negan way, which is nothing barred. And I will add every f---, f---ing, f---edy f---, and more, just to f---ing get a reaction."

"The Walking Dead" will return to AMC for its seventh season on Sunday, October 23 at 9 p.m. EST.
