I just look at it as a real group activity when you are making movies. There are so many different artists doing so many different things, and they are all interconnected. So I like to see what everybody else is going to bring to the table before I make up my mind too much about anything.

If you are going to be on TV for however many years, you want to make sure that you have writers that are giving you something to work with, and I got that in spades.

I never went into acting to be able to scare everybody. If I'd wanted to frighten people, I could have joined the C.I.A.

Everybodys constantly being destroyed and rebuilding themselves, some more drastically than others.

When you see a struggle that you may be having personally put on a big screen and in a roomful of people, then it makes you feel less crazy or alone, because you're seeing that other people are dealing with it too. You get to see in this imaginary scenario how people might try and answer some questions or deal with some problems.

I get pretty attached to the majority of the characters I play. I can't help myself.

That's one of the great things about acting - you get to pretend you're somebody else, which is great if you get bored with yourself.
