Being on a television series is sort of life-altering on every level.

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

One day, we were doing a serious scene and fast talking like we do and we could not stop laughing and the director had to stop the production. We had to go to our trailer and calm down and do it all again.

Each person shows something different, in every challenge that they come across.

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

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