I listen to a lot of Phil Collins.

I have a lot of that in my own life - passion, vigour, and what comes coupled with that.

When I was first pitched the show, I was like, 'Oh, God, a soapy show called 'Mistresses.'' But it wasn't that at all. It wasn't a bunch of women pulling guns on each other and stabbing each other in the back. We really have a core friendship.

Ricky Whittle's abs, they should be in a museum. They're crazy.

I will now sing another song for your pleasure. Now, if you like Phil Collins...you should be shot in the head.

I'm not trying to be the next Dave Grohl or Phil Collins.
