I have been sitting around waiting for an opportunity to get to do something that matters for so long. Not just that matters in the world, which I think that season, in particular, had a very important meaning for a lot of people, but for me, as an actress.

Sometimes I think on television, you use maybe a tenth of what you are able to do. So it’s nice to go, Well, I’m gonna take two months and reinvest in acting and storytelling. You don’t get to do that on television.

Acting is doing. The more you do, the more you learn. Work begets work.

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

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

To not have any hope is where things start to get really bleak. Things are possible. The impossible can be possible.

The theater commitment is hard, especially in conjunction with a television commitment. That's a big, long commitment.
