I'm lively when I perform and I always put everything into a show, but when I get home I love lying down in front of the TV and relaxing.

What I can say that's different in American television… in Britain, they wouldn't cancel something after a couple of episodes. In the States they would. They would just decide it's not working, take it off and put something else in on the fall schedule.

I would wish that people would accept people for who they are, not be judgemental, allow people to live their lives and enjoy themselves and that would be my wish for people.

If you do something and it goes wrong, you learn from it and you move on.

We get the scripts before the table read, but I don't look at them until we go into the table read. I don't want to know, when I'm playing a moment in the current episode, what's going to happen because it might change how I'm playing that.

Never apologize for being nerdy.

My first professional job was actually at a place called Opryland USA, which no longer exists, but I've been performing since I was a kid.
