I don't like lying around on the beach. I like to be busy.

I just enjoy the filmmaking side of things. I feel like when you're an actor, sometimes you're in other people's hands and they're in charge of your creative life. Whereas with my production company, I'm the one that gets to make those choices for how I'm gonna spend my time and what content I'm going to be creating. I definitely learn a lot, especially about acting, by producing and directing and seeing how it all comes together, and seeing the other side of things, appreciating what goes into pre- and post-production, and all those things you don't see when you're an actor.

The Good Wife was definitely the biggest surprise and gift that Ive had in a long time, and that did come out of some other work that I had done. That whole adage of work begets work actually worked in that case - it was at the very end of their first season that my character was first introduced.

I like a round nail and not too long. I like to have control of what I do with my hands. I don't want hands longer than my legs.

Alan Cumming is such an amazing performer and person.

Everyone thinks they went to high school with me. I take it as a compliment that I look different in every role.
