Working in television it's really great to be able to stick with a character for a long period of time. It's not like you have one shot, and that's it. You have more time, more room, an ability to reflect on your performance and the character and how much has really been shown, and what you'd like to see. It's nice. You have more breathing room.

I think I've always been interested in playing people who are judged very harshly.

I don't think I'm an outsider at all.

My brother always teases me about my forehead: 'I could eat off it!'

I don't come from money.

My sister and I shared a bedroom our entire lives and I believe she discovered the Beatles when she was about 11 and I'm four years younger. So from the age of 7 until 17 we had nothing but Beatles paraphernalia in our room, even those little stuffed Beatles that went on stands that are dressed as the Sgt. Pepper band.

People feel like they have to live up to being perfect or have a perfect life or be perfectly happy, and it just makes them more unhappy.
