It's very nice to be in a show where your vanity is completely out of the picture.

You get used to falling in love with people and having to let them go.

My career has taken so many different paths to this point that I've come to realise that we're all the same, everywhere I've been. We're all just creatures trying to tell stories as good as we can, so whether that's in a tiny theatre or as part of the biggest multi-million dollar film, we're all still just trying to tell a good story at the end of the day.

If you're going to marry someone, maybe you can be mad for a few weeks and it can still work out.

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.

When actors are the real deal, all that star whatever goes right out the window and you're there to tell a story.

Yeah, you can explore a lot more. Every one of the storylines is multi-faceted, so there are so many directions that it can go. It makes each episode so interesting.
