My dad is this very sensible guy who never let me feel that anything was beyond my station.

Zombies are the new vampires.

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.

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.

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

I haven't been offered a lot of comedy. In theater, I've done quite a bit of comedy or dramas that included a lot of funny stuff. But in my TV work, those aren't the roles that I've been offered.

I'm really grateful for how my career has unfolded.
