What I realized was how difficult an hour show is and how miserable you can be if you're not happy doing it.

Thank goodness I started getting movie roles and then television shows came along. So I was very fortunate to be able to do all three and I like all of them.

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

Then I did one fight scene, and they said it looked good. Because I did it well enough, they've given me more.

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.

I'm very serious about acting.

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.
