I've often been mistaken for Meryl Streep, although never on Oscar night.

So I'm always inspired by my fellow actors. And that's kind of a constant for me. I have huge respect for our profession and our craft. And I seek in my work to create connections, first for me with the character and then the character with the other actors, and then ultimately, all of us together connecting with the audience in a way that sometimes is subliminal, even.

Bunny boiler is now part of our language, and I'm proud of that.

We have to be vulnerable as actors, but we have to protect ourselves.

There are a lot of big spec houses now all across Connecticut, a lot of ostentatious showing of wealth.

It is an odd paradox that a society, which can now speak openly and unabashedly about topics that were once unspeakable, still remains largely silent when it comes to mental illness.

I think everybody wants to connect. There is nothing worse than feeling disconnected. And stories that really move people and make people care are the ones where they feel some sort of connection.
