It's a lot of fun to play someone you don't normally think of yourself as.

With Russia about to hold the Winter Games in Sochi, the country is open to pressure. American and world leaders must speak out against Mr. Putin's attacks and the violence they foster. The Olympic Committee must demand the retraction of these laws under threat of boycott.

Never be bullied into silence.

As soon as I started writing, other writers stopped wanting me acting in their shows - maybe they thought I was going to rewrite them.
