I like people trying to do two things at once.

I'd like to make really important movies, like American Beauty. I was really proud to be a part of that movie.

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

It was great to have a Republican character as likeable as Alan Alda was in the West Wing. He was one Republican I would probably vote for; he was old school.

I guess my height has hurt me as much as it's helped me. In comedy people don't mind casting tall women next to shorter men. It adds to the humour.

It's hard to describe to people how terrible it was when you could only watch cartoons at a certain time in your life.
