I personally was driven to be an actor for the love of telling a story. It was very closely linked to being a reader as a kid and being transported by literature and art. It had nothing - zero - to do with anything resembling fame.

As I've gotten older, I've gotten more liberal, and my father is increasingly conservative. It's so shocking to me because I always thought we had the same politics. The day I realized we voted for different presidents, I practically fell out of my chair.

Moving. Someone said this to me a long time ago, it's bhuddist saying, I think: 'There is no wasted effort'.

None of my characters have really had jobs.

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

I would like to be part of a family, however that looks. Family is really important to me.

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.
