If you do have something you love to do, the fun part of the job is no different than what was fun about doing it in high school for no money. I thought there would be some greater reward in succeeding.

You want the story to end when it's supposed to and not be squeezed for somebody's financial gain.

I take the no-doughnut pledge, and then I break it.

Perspective is the most important thing to have in life.

When the creator of the show is gone, the actors end up being the people who have been there the longest.

I didn't grow up identifying with beauty. I grew up thinking I could be smart and funny - those are the things I got feedback on.

I think what my hope is is that the only downside of having a steady job on television is, I think for all actors, there's a piece, there's some adrenaline, and part of the love of the job is not knowing what's coming next, and the variety.
