Crime shows are really popular, in general, but usually, at the end of every episode, you have to let go of the people that you've invested in and then, the next week, get somebody else.

I know as an actor there is a certain liberation auditioning for a role that has no beauty requirements.

I don't watch television because I have a tiny baby daughter. I'm useless.

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.

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

I can't worry about whether roles will be there for me when I'm older.

I don't know how people chew gum all day long.
