I worked in script development, many years ago, and read a lot of scripts. Between that and the scripts I've read as an actor, and I'm a writer as well, I think I have a pretty good sense about whether the bones of a story are there and whether the structure is intact.

I feel honored to be a part of something that provided people with entertainment and that inspired conversations. I feel very, very fortunate.

I would not call myself Catholic anymore, but I went to 16 years of Catholic school: grade school, high school and college.

If the question was did we want to delay the revelation?... Yeah, you want to delay it as long as possible because the audience knows that that moment is coming and you want to make them wait for it. They have to suffer a bit.

I don't think that necessarily I was encouraged by the nuns and the priest to consider alternate possibilities to the universe.

I can be a bit of a science geek. I tend more towards reading about brain science, neuroscience.

So I'm here, and not being one for missed opportunities, I made a list of the casting directors in New York and mark off the ones I've already met over the years. The few remaining I asked my agent and manager, "See if you can set up some meetings while I'm here."
