When I was in school, in eighth grade, someone recognized something in me. She was an English teacher, and we read a play out loud in class, and she asked me to read one of the roles. I'd never done anything like that before, but something just lit up.

I just figured, "If I can do theater, agents will find their way."

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'm not sure I always feel like I'm in the seat. Sometimes I'm only holding on by one hand and flying out behind the roller coaster. I don't know anybody who doesn't feel that way.

I didn't want to do television at all. I really didn't want to do it. I really thought I was just going to be doing theater and doing movies.

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