Have we become so celebrity-obsessed that there is no longer a difference between a character and an actor? I hope not.

For years, particularly with the advent of the Internet, people have been griping about lessening attention spans.

Politics and acting are very closely tied. The job is to convince.

I cotton to the idea that people are much closer to being flawed; they have problems and dont always make the right choices.

My job is to interpret. I'm an interpreter. I can add things and bring unique qualities to the role that the writer may not have thought of, but someone else created the fundamental idea.

I've been intrigued by politics my whole life. And, yes, I am very close to the Clintons. I was a Hillary person until I was an Obama person. And she was a Hillary person, too, until she was an Obama one, evidently.

I have always believed that the risk takers are eventually rewarded.
