I embrace everything about Ally... I don't particularly see her as a whiner. One week she's tough, the next she's really weak. I love that. She's human.
I am definitely a dog person. I feel like Webster and I are very much alike.
The only real indulgence was buying a house. That was a pretty big step.
Webster and I are very aloof. The two of us go and sit there by ourselves. I sit by myself in the corner with my book and the newspaper. He kind of runs around a little bit, and then he goes and sits on top of the picnic table. He never plays with other little dogs.
Shows can come and go. They can be a hit and then in three years, gone. There's some comfort in having the stability of a job and having children. It's a double-edged sword.
Just the whole idea of what drives people to violence and if we know about it maybe we can prevent it. It's interesting. And these people live among us.
I like to hike with my dog, Webster. It helps clear my mind.
Every year you work in Hollywood takes a year off your soul.
No, I am who I am. Im not going to change for anybody.
But it kills me, this fascination with celebrities' personal lives.

I just can't eat without my sunglasses,
I don't watch the show - only bits and pieces of all of them. The only one I sat through was the pilot.
Sometimes when you play a character, you can feel it in your body. And I felt like I had characteristics of my dog: the way Webster moves, the way he holds his head. I kind of adapted it into this part unconsciously
