I actually think the reason I am interested in certain parts is because I was such a dweeb in high school. When you are such a loser, it's a helpful way in to a lot of characters because even very powerful people are not all that powerful really. They all had a high school. That vulnerability is completely permanent and, as an actor, it's a good thing.

As an actor, the second and last ones were interesting for me. Because those parts had the most change in playing someone who was both light and dark, sort of Jekyl and Hyde.

Please, God, please, don't let me be normal!

It's such a nice change to get to play a wretched, shallow, mergers-and-acquisitions woman. My true colors come out.

I consider myself very much a team player.

My husband is from Hawaii and his father who was also born in Hawaii was a teenager when Pearl Harbor happened, right before church and he ran up and got on the roof of his grandfather's house and watched the planes go over.

I think that every piece has its challenges. I love going back and forth between one and the other. I'll always pick a comedy over a drama.
