I think that's the phenomenon of our time is that a lot of women keep themselves in good shape but that there's not a lot of accommodation or people out there to connect with and the technology.
Acting is such a bizarre way of life. Unless you're really passionate about it, you should give it up. Don't beat yourself up.
Casting can be heartbreaking. Dealing with the disappointment is the hardest part.
I hate parties. I really don't like public events. I hate dressing up. I am the worst celebrity ever!
I lead a very boring, normal life.
I want to go working with good people on something that's good, because otherwise it's a big waste of time. I don't have that much time.
I'm kind of spoiled, but the great thing about life is that you never know what's around the corner.
You don't want to play a character you can't inhabit or commit to fully.
When I was younger I thought I was an artist, and inspiration would just come to me.
Oh, my only - if I had one frustration in being on 'West Wing' is I wasn't on it enough, because I was in and out.
I'm rather uncomfortable with celebrity, to be honest.
I can barely even run a computer. God knows what I'd get on online dating. I'd get something that was subhuman or something.
I think even if you're on a screen or you're in a play, it's always a group effort. It's not just the actors, it's the editor.
It's always great to have another chance at something.
