In my twenties, I thought I was Robert De Niro and I invested all of myself in my acting. But, as I've got older, I've calmed down a bit. I've thrown my game plan out of the window.

I call Sally Field 'America's Mother!' She is incredible to watch.

In my head, I think I'd make a perfect spy, but in reality, I don't think I'd fare very well.

I love the stage. I'm always sniffing around to see if there's something I can squidge in quickly.

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.

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

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.
