I like to use my hands. When I was in theatre in college, that was one of my biggest notes: 'You use your hands too much.

I think if I have any kind of unique gift, it's more in the comedy area than it is in the dramatic area.

I wouldn't have the life I have without television. I wouldn't be looking out my apartment window onto the East River; I wouldn't be able to afford to have my mother with me this summer. So television has been very good to me.

To work on great material, what you really end up working on is yourself, your own humanity.

Mitch and I have known each other for such a long time, and we're both so pleased to be given this opportunity at this point in our lives to play characters that we've never really had a chance to play before. It's a great gift. Plus we're wise enough to appreciate it.

I started out doing theater and a soap in New York and that's... sort of what I got stuck in. I was blessed enough to have long runs, and it's sort of hard sometimes then to get out.

I don't think I ever wanted fame.
