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

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

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

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.

The truth is I quite like to dress in jeans and a woolly jumper.

I was sitting in a caf in London with my husband and baby daughter when my phone rang with the news! I feel so incredibly lucky and honored to be nominated, and so grateful to be part of the family that is The Killing.
