I'm interested in telling the character's story, not my beliefs, political or otherwise.

I've never been on a show that's run for more than a season.

No, I'm not a Republican working in Hollywood, I am a Democrat.

I like the ritual of putting on my makeup, putting on my costume, doing my warm-ups. I eat the same dinner every night before I go on stage. I like having something that I can count on, something that feels stabilizing for me.

My great love is the stage because I do feel like it's the place where, if you're lucky and everything is firing in the right way, you have the greatest shot at being successful. I don't mean by getting great reviews, but I mean by finding the core fo the person that you're playing.

I'm addicted to routine. I don't know if that's because I moved around so much as child - by the time I was 12 years old, I had lived in about 10 different places. But I like going to the theater at a certain time.

I could never have thought, "I wanna play a two-headed woman." That just never would have occurred to me, in a million years.
