Somebody told me long ago that in acting, it's okay to steal, just steal from the best.

I relate to those characters - and any character I play - in as much as I put myself in their positions and feel how I would personally deal with their experiences.

I'll tell you what I really enjoy. We all go to the movies, we all watch television, we know what they're about, how they work. When the main character is a cop or a spy, it's very exciting, but I also very much enjoy when the main characters are nobodies - a trucker.

I'm a plethora of stolen jokes and kitschy references.

I still buy actual books. The smell, having it in your hands - there's really no substitute.

I'm the one who often makes the 'Murder, She Wrote' reference, and ABC hates that, they don't want me to do that. And I say that having never actually watched 'Murder, She Wrote'. I think people have been trying to compare it to crime shows that are on right now, and all I can do is listen. I don't watch a lot of TV.

I want to be a working actor; I want to do jobs that excite me and challenge me, and I want to something fun.
