I think people who do comedy tend to do it well, and to do it painfully and truthfully. So making the leap to drama is easier for them because everything they've done is from pain anyway.

I hate the word assistant. No one works for me. I work with everyone because I couldn't do anything without the people that I work with.

I think Benjamin Bratt is the most dreamy... he's dreamy! And I love the fact that he's got this Peruvian heritage; he's absolutely striking.

Why is it that when we get older, we get more fearful?

We just assume all the great actors are in New York first and then L.A. second, and it's so not true. There's such amazing talent everywhere. It's exciting that now that there are these sort of new Hollywoods or new filmmaking communities that really benefit from these great faces and character actors and leading actors that just are fresh and exciting and bring an authenticity to the piece.

Sure, I'm an optimistic, joyous person, but I'm also afraid and insecure.

I consider myself sort of like a pseudo lawyer. Like, I'm convinced I can solve every case and argue my way.
