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

It's disgusting that a Broadway show can't try out anymore, that no matter where they are in the world, there is this massive dialogue going on between people damning or praising it.

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.

I find that everything I do is demanding, like Jack Bristow is a complicated man and I do a lot of explaining in the show, it takes a lot of energy and concentration.

If you were to come to the set of Alias, you'd know how silly we all are. And I mean, silly.

When I first read the script a few years ago I thought it was one of the best written scripts I had ever read.

I think from a very young age I always have this desire to perform.
