I only knew basic western trail riding. Nothing fancy.

[Filming Payne] that was also the first time I worked with JoBeth Williams, which was also a case of not being the last time!

So it's nice to know that Rita had that impact, and it was nice to end a character on a high note like that. But, again, in the moment... I always say, nobody was more devastated than me [from Rita's death in Dexter]!

When I first auditioned for Dexter... Well, I was sent the script, and I read it and loved it, and I knew right away that it was going to be a hit because it's the type of programming that I like to watch. It's that very morally ambiguous thing where you find yourself rooting for someone who's really an awful person, but... is he doing good? You're constantly calling into question your own moral code. I love that as an audience member.

I really take pride in the relationship that I have with my husband.

I remember Gale Gordon was in the pilot [of Hi Honey, I'm Home], and it was one of my very first professional gigs without having an adult take me to the job.

Working with Dario [Argento] was a lot of fun. He's a larger-than-life character, and with an Italian accent.
