I never stop. I don't want to stop acting because I'm afraid it'll all end, so I never say no.

The pre-shoot days are so relaxed and fun and the writers are laughing. I love the rehearsal process.

The live aspect is so thrilling, I get nervous again. It's like going on stage.

Great drama is all about conflict, and what's a better conflict than Republican-Democrat?

I can't imagine trying to be in recovery. I mean it would be hard enough with just life going along in a nice way, but then when awful stuff happens, how you maintain the strength to get through it?

Don’t ever underestimate the power of mentoring someone, or helping some young actor, doing a favor for them, or introducing - everyone needs somebody to help them along when they’re first starting out.

I can tell when men are threatened by my height.
