It's very, very technical, what we do in film. While all of the lights are there and all of the crew members and directors are staring right at you, you have to be honest. It's a very difficult, but technical medium.

What would surprise a lot of people about me... I'm a gardener! I have a green thumb. I really like to get into the shrubs, the bushes, and really cultivate.

I think that's why I keep being drawn back to television, because I think it's one of the most creative outlets.

I could never say I'm going to do bigger and better things because that would negate what I've already accomplished, and I don't want to do that.

I think that, especially with cable, it's an avenue to be creative. I think why people are drawn more now to cable shows than ever is that they take more risks, they're creatively pushing the envelope. I think that the networks have to answer to a bigger advertising calling, whereas the smaller cables have lower ceilings that they can bump their heads on.

I'm very shy in real life; I can't really hit on girls.

Do you want to see a mother and son antagonistically attack each other every single episode for five years? I don't think so.
