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.

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

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.

I'm very serious about acting.

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

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.
