The Wire,' I was such a fan of that show the first season - I think that's the best-written show on TV.

I know how to separate my own laundry.

I will admit, it's so intoxicating working with Steve Carrell. Creatively and professionally.

Usually in stories there are big problems in the beginning or couples are pulling away, there's a lot of bitterness.

I was actually fortunate that I never had to have any other job than being an actor. I don't have those odd stories of having to make some money here or there, but certainly there are some credits on my résumé I wish I hadn't done. It paid my health insurance, and I say that just from a creative standpoint, shows I'm not that proud of, things like that.

I'm so fortunate in that I've never had another job to pay a bill but acting, since the day I got out of high school.
