As an actor, your life experience is just as important as studying.

And that might have led to other shows but you know what LA is like. I was in my early 30s and it wasn't going to get easier. You know, that's when you start to wonder if you might have to get lots of plastic surgery.

It is a good thing to happen to you, to have that taste of fame because then you don't hanker for it.

I think if you're half-hearted you shouldn't go into acting.

Like at Halloween: I knew I'd arrived when I saw people dressing up on Halloween as my character.

I feel lucky. I think acting can help to keep you young. It does make you feel there's meaning in your life.

I have no regrets about my life.
