I'm really lucky to be married to a perfect person.

When I was little, I used to work with my dad on the engine of his car. Mostly this was a matter of me handing him wrenches.

People say to me, 'Oh, being a mother must make you a better actor,' and I think, 'Well, I never sleep, I have very little time to think about anything except when I'm actually there.' I wonder whether that makes me a better actor. I think it must on some level.

I personally love a cliffhanger - I think it just extends the pleasure of viewing.

AMC has a track record for finding actors who have been working actors but not names yet and casting them.

The way that being on the job works on your adrenaline highs and the crashes that come after the adrenaline highs. It really takes over your life.

When I was doing theater for all those years in New York, I did a lot of classical theater, wearing big corsets and big dresses and doing dialects. It's interesting that once I moved to TV, I'm playing these scrappy, contemporary toughies.
