That's why, when Alias came along, I knew I'd be OK if the show was on for five or six years because the writing was so good and the creative team was so strong.

In our show you have to pay attention and know what happened before. I think it's very intelligent entertainment. It makes demands of viewers that a lot of shows don't.

Growing up I was involved in children's theater, so I was definitely on the path to be an actor and a singer.

When I was a kid, I didn't collect stamps, or weird toys, or anything. I don't even have music - I don't even have a CD collection. So that's not really my thing.

My mother couldn't have been happier when I said I was moving to New York.

I have no skills. The only thing I could possibly do is teach.

I believe that acting in any medium is the same thing, it's discovering the truth in where you are.
