You can't dictate if a character's going to come off as sympathetic to an audience. I just tried to play it as honest as possible.

For a Bostonian... we live in the shadow of New York, and to be acknowledged by New Yorkers is really the greatest feeling.

I try to ground most of my characters in reality somehow. That's kind of what I bring to the table.

I didnt get arrested to show off my wild character. People say its a gimmick for all five of us to be different. Thats ridiculous.

Every job in Hollywood is a risk. You don't know, when you sign a contract, if something is going to pop, you don't know whether this or that network is going to support your show. You just show up and do the best work you can do, gravitate towards the best material, you know, and try to make the right choices. And the rest of it is a roll of the dice.

It doesn't matter to me if it has a surprise ending or not. I usually go for the material or the project.

I had to learn how to become a real actor, I had to suffer and be rejected and face that 100 times just like every actor. It wasn't like someone handed it to me
