I like being able to marry the actor and the technician inside of me. It's really fulfilling. It exercises all of my creative muscles.

The heroines in 'That's What She Said' are flawed, messy, damaged, hilarious and culpable and not really concerned about being acceptable to the audience in any traditional sense, which for me is what makes them all the more gorgeous. And the fearless truth of that is what makes it funny.

I'm a character actor and I get lost in these characters, so I think it's only recently that people have begun to connect dots and go, 'Oh, that's the same person that did this, this, this, this and this!' which I take as a compliment. One time somebody called me an illusionist, and that was the nicest thing anyone has ever said.

I don't like lying around on the beach. I like to be busy.

I have a recurring role on 'Person of Interest,' which is my husband's show. I play the love of his life. It was really fun to do that.

It really annoys me that I'm vain, but unfortunately, I haven't been able to discard that tendency.
