When I entered college, I wasn't sure what I was going to do. My advisor happened to be from the theater department, and he encouraged me to take some classes there, which I did.

You know... the wonderful thing about Dark Shadows, the thing about going and looking back at it. It was so sucsessful at creating its own world.

When you succeed at creating your own world, whether it's in any realm - like Tolkien was able to do - and people are able to enter that world, it's a special thing.

When I was younger I decided I'd hop on the train to New York.

The thing of it is though that's the only way people know you, they see you in that roll and they see you in person and they only know the perception of what you are.

I was delighted to have lines when they came - learning lines for film isn't a problem, but television is a little different, because we shot those shows the whole way through.

I may have been lucky with some sort of intuition, but I believe in training a great deal.
