My parents have been together for 65 years. They're both really stubborn. They're not quitters.

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

I don't get tired of hearing that somebody liked my work.

I don't put myself out there, so people aren't necessarily familiar with me or my face.

People ask me, 'Why are you doing a show on Showtime?' Because I'll do anything really, I don't really care, I'll do a show on Nickelodeon if I thought it was well written. Actually Nickelodeon's kind of awesome.

I like to pretend that I'm a tough guy. It's kind of an admission of defeat if I have to ask for help - or even kindness. But if it doesn't come, at some point I snap and demand it.

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.
