You learn a lot about a person when you work together.

Anybody who believes and experiences their life and doesn't have shades of gray in it doesn't live where I live and is simply not in touch with the reality of the human condition.

By the time I had finished my studies at St. Paul's School, I knew I wanted to be an actor.

My grandfather was from outside of Moscow, and my grandmother, although some of her family were French, was from Odessa. They met as immigrants in New York in the early '20s. My mother's family came over from Ireland generations ago.

In the same way that Shakespeare was writing very much for his time, he was also unearthing observations that would last for generations beyond him.

Personally, my taste is towards development of a character, as well as the resolution of a story plot. I like to find both, if I can.

Honestly, one-hour drama is the hardest format there is. I think it's harder than movies, and it's harder than half-hour comedy.
