In a way I'd say it's maybe more satisfying to do a play, because there is a beginning, middle, and end. But I also really enjoy the television experience, because there's a certain part of it that you have to let go of and trust in that process.

I began thinking I would do musical theater because in high school that was really the only sort of curriculum they had as far as getting onstage and doing anything that anybody would see. So that's what I did.

I think that's the best way to see things, especially this kind of play where there's no pyrotechnics, it's literally just people talking.

It's not like I have a master plan or anything.

I'm pretty low-maintenance, but I like my time to myself, and once you have a child, you have to fight for it. I remember the first long bath I took [after Ptolemy's birth] was such a moment. Because a lot of the time you're in the shower, and if that baby cries, you've got to turn off the water and go!

Donnie Brasco was great, but the energy on the set made it kinda hard to get in there and have an opinion.

It's fun to play a character when you can't concern yourself with how sympathetic they are.
