Well, I'm a big believer in 'never say never.

I'm also a big American Idol fan. I think it's just great fun.

When I first started out in Houston, it was theater or bust. And I loved it. I still love it. And then I went to undergraduate and graduate school for acting.

I've grown out of dancing in my car - is it sad? Or I've just become a better driver!

My Emmy competition is awfully good. My stomach is already in knots. The problem is that I don't drink, so I can't calm myself that way. I wish I could be better at pretending I don't care.

It isn't called TV money for nothing. There was a time where I paid my rent by doing theater for years, and I was able to buy groceries and pay my electric bill. I considered myself to be making a living as an actor. This kind of money that we make is a whole other level, of course. But it really is simply the cherry on top of a job and a role that I adore.

I try to master every facet of a character in order to build a safety net for myself, so I can go on to take more risks to create someone really distinct.
