I've always managed to hustle; since the show ended, I did probably ten movies. I always feel like I can stay busy and do stuff.
I think I was able to ride on a good wave of not seeming too desperate. There's a confidence in there that's actually rare for me.
Every once in awhile, when you can see shades of the person's real interior life, I think that's interesting.
There was something about that form of comedy that's just difficult. It never really felt like you could just fully commit to all the colors that you carry with you.
I love not feeling this hydraulic pressure that you have to create this comic moment within every scene. You can just play it as it is.
I feel quite blessed that I can actually balance between the two worlds, because a lot of really talented actors I know end up getting set in a certain category and no one will ever buy that they can exist outside that category, even though you know full well that they can.
I just personally feel like the best writing for actors exists in cable television.
I'm a huge fan of things like The Wire and The Shield.
I felt like Life was a great show. It was really well-written.
There's a certain kind of existential freedom that comes to people who realize that all the things that they hold onto and that they think define them, once they're gone, there's this new freedom to determine the way you're going to live your life.
I'd have to say my favorite thing about working on the show, and something that might be intriguing to other people, is that it's just such an amazingly welcoming environment to work in.
My characters are always utterly sympathetic to me.
It's always surprised me that the most successful and really amazing shows are also the happiest environments, and very welcoming.
It's nice to be in a world where you're not going to exhaust storylines with potential villains.
