Law and Order' is completely story-driven and completely characterless, really. If you do that format for five years and you're an actor, you're bound to get bored. It wears on you. And it was really wearing on me.

I jumped into acting because it was fun. It was tougher when I had to take my fun seriously.

I always get involved with the environment because once you go past the tipping point with the environment, you don't get it back.

In society, we have these unspoken rules of conduct, these 'shoulds.' Even though we pride ourselves on being a democracy, there are all these ways we say you 'should' behave. But what if you're living your life by the 'shoulds' and you're not really living your life?

Sex and the City changed New York-New York's become a big shoe store now, unfortunately.
