The medical operations are so challenging because they're so technical, as well. I assumed before we started that we would do the classic thing, when it comes to the operations, that we would do all of these inserts with real doctors.

I always used to say to myself, I'm going to die of lung cancer. That's the choice I'm making.

The idea of goodies and baddies has always fascinated me, and what people consider to be a goodie or a baddie, because I've never seen any of my characters as baddies.

I like to play characters that are convincing, that aren't just straightforward and nice.

I never really look at life and worry about missed opportunities.

One of the things I love, more than anything, is jumping around and playing lots of different parts. I love the variety of playing different characters.

I don't think you necessarily identify and believe in the motifs of the character, but you have to want to play it and want to commit to the lines.
