It's very hard when you're doing a new play that you believe in, and you want to tell the story in the best way possible.

All I really want to do is someday be in a western. If I could be on a horse with a rifle, I would be a really happy camper.

I was shooting Beyond Redemption, I started shooting American Horror Story, so I was going back and forth between Northern California and LA. That was not bad at all - that flight is like getting on the subway, it's nothing. And then during rehearsals.

No, I'm not feminist. I'm not, not a feminist.

I will say that I've been lucky enough never to have to do a job I didn't want to do, or a play I wasn't in love with.
