Ultimately the Emmys are a popularity contest.

I'm trying to find a character that's my age and I can sustain week after week. I'd like to do a series.

There's a certain possessiveness of writers sometimes.

What I would have liked to do on that show was play a secretary of state who has huge personal business interests throughout the world. That, to me, seems to be more in synch with reality.

Clint Eastwood is aging beautifully. But someone like Burt Reynolds and others are practically destroying their faces in the amount of work they have.

When you go to a movie, it's about what's not being said. I tried to bring that to Greg Sumner. It was always about what's not being said.

Writers are not always right however, but then again, I've been on shows where the actors have complete control and change everything and it's terrible.
