I kind of found a niche for myself after 'Firefly'. I found something that I enjoyed doing and that I did well, but as far as how I seek out a part, it's always different. It's always something that lights you on fire when you read it. It might be just one scene, it might be one line that defines the character for you.

I kind of fell backwards into acting. I was studying to be a high school teacher. I look now and I understand completely, or actually barely, how much work it is to be a teacher. It's an incredible amount of work.

Do something today you've been afraid to do. A decision based on fear is the wrong decision.

When people embrace character, there's latzie. It's the stuffing of a scene that's not written. It's not in the stage direction and it's not in the words. When people embrace character, it informs their living, breathing moments in a scene so well.

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

What turned me on to comedy was - well, first of all, I like being able to laugh, I like people who can make me laugh.

I've always noticed a difference between working with a director and working with a writer/director. In how much they're invested and how specific they are.
