I really like the director [for Weeds]. I don't know if you've spoken to him yet but he's really, really intelligent. He was just really kind when I met him and nice and really told me why I should play the part...and kind of really didn't argue with him. He's just really, really smart and assembled these really great people. I felt like he really knows how to enlist his intelligence to get you - I don't know - he's really hard to argue with I find.

I thought the other ones were so obviously - what are we going to do if she burns down the house? The DEA, which I think was maybe the best one because she's wearing the jacket when she goes through the mirror and I think that was kind of amazing because you really weren't expecting that. There's something almost slapstick about this in a way that worried me. It was a little pratfalley with the golf club and the - but I think it probably cut together okay.

I certainly was never the pretty girl at school, but I can go to a lot of different places with this face.

I never feel more useful than when I'm making my kids a bowl of soup.

With TV, there's a continuum with the crew and the cast so you feel like you have a sense of community in a way, which is similar to theater.

I never know why people come up to me. I think a lot of them just get super-excited because they recognize me from TV but they don't remember where.

Mediocrity is underrated.
