There are not that many jobs as an actor where you don't get to know what your character will be doing from episode to episode.

I think in real life most of us don't know how to communicate our deepest feelings very well.

Everything seems to take on a new meaning when you become a parent and you put yourself in the shoes of the parent, not the shoes of the child.

I enjoy playing characters where I get to sort of change my look, my voice. It's not about what she wears, it's about what she's got inside.

I like diversity; I want one character to be very different from the next. I love to live with a character for a long time if I can, but I like one character to be different from the next.

I had a really scary pregnancy and a very difficult delivery. My daughter and I are lucky to be alive.

I think there are great roles for women in television because there is time to allow those characters to evolve. Even if you're the wife or the girlfriend or whatever it is that we women are, playing those things on TV, they are much more drawn out and there are greater arcs for the role. The roles are more integral to the complexity of the story.
