My first film role was a reporter. It's funny, because my father was a news reporter. I always thought there was something strange about that.

I think the better the show usually it means that you've got a lot of good people, because it's sustaining itself. If there's negative energy, things tend to break down ultimately.

I think if I learned anything in graduate school, it was to not drool around other actors who would normally make you drool.

I think I've been able to be in some really good projects with some really good people.

Some friends of mine in the class ahead of me in college were auditioning for graduate school in New York, and then a few of them got into Juilliard, and it sort of opened my eyes. I didn't really know anything about it, but it opened my eyes to a possible next step after school, where I could just deepen my knowledge and also not be responsible for life and stay in school.

Anything government or politics is always exciting for me.

I'm frankly shocked that Hollywood hasn't called me to do a superhero.
