None of my characters have really had jobs.

The thing you must really do in television is bring yourself to everything you do - you can't try to be anybody else.

Actors should ACT. Not sell perfume, or write cookbooks.

If I had a normal job and had been moving up, I'd be management level now.

That's the thing that always stuck out to me - the idea that quantity becomes quality. I always took it to mean if you do anything enough, if you keep putting effort in, eventually something will happen, with or without you. You don't have to have faith when you start out, you just have to dedicate yourself to practice as if you have it.

I just don't know that a TV show demands a movie ending.

It's core to my beliefs now: Sometimes in being given a challenge, you're actually being given a real opportunity, and a lot of that is how you handle it. Do you feel sorry for yourself or do you think, All right! I'll see what I can make out of this? I've had that over and over. If I hang out in the disappointment, I'll just be disappointed all the time.
