I find acting in contact lenses is bizarre to me, because there's just a giant filter between you and the world. I know it sounds painfully, ridiculously obvious, but it's true. You're just so detached.

I am one of those actors who does feel a change when a wig and fake nose are put on. Even the weird little things, like glasses - it's almost like having a mask on.

I love it when television is shot in a cinematic way and I think to aspire to that is no bad thing.

I feel comfortable here primarily because I think Los Angeles is made up of people who don't come from here, so you can find kindred spirits very easily. It's a town of gypsies.

I've done a number of projects where people go, 'This is your breakthrough role,' so I've stopped thinking that.

When I speak to people from Britain, that's when I feel like a fake, speaking with an American accent.

I got a lot out of 'Brothers Sisters' and learnt some incredible things and I think it certainly had come to a natural ending, so it was definitely time to move on.
