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.

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 will be always grateful to NBC.

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.

I don't care about the money. I just need, as an actor, to do as many different things that I can to make me feel good about myself.

I don't even know what TV star means. I know there's a difference in how people approach you, compared to movies. They feel OK coming up to you and sitting with you in a restaurant, unfortunately.
