I feel comfortable in the presence of oddity. Probably because I'm a little bit odd.

I love dogs because they're so adaptable.

I want to be true to the character and maintain some consistency and give the audience what they love while at the same time keeping things fresh and grow the character.

In the theater, as an actor, you're welcoming people into your house.

Woke up this morning to the incredible news that I was nominated for an Emmy, and a shower full of dog poop. Apparently my dog is so excited, she has explosive diarrhea. I truly could not be more thankful to the Emmy voters for including me in this brilliant company of extraordinary women. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go clean up an enormous amount of dog poop out of my shower. Yay!

As an actress for most of my life, I am profoundly familiar with poverty.

I just want to be clear, I am a very dark and bitter person, but I think on some level, everything really does come when it's meant to come.
