I'd never done any film or television. Well, I'd done one little stupid commercial in Boston when I was doing theater, but that was it.

I think that's really risky to make yourself unsexy, because the business demands that women be sexy.

When you walk on the set, whatever it is, you commit yourself to the job. You're committing yourself to doing the best you can do with it, no matter what you feel about it, and that never changes.

In independent film you tend to have stories that involve more of a community, and the smaller characters are important to the story.

You get to the middle of a take that's going really well and the camera will run out of film. They have to stop you, apologize and then you've got to get things going all over again.

I will be always grateful to NBC.

A lot of the things I've enjoyed the most and that I think have been the best are ensembles.
