I was a theater geek, and I was a surly cheerleader, and that's really kind of a contradiction.

I really enjoy laughing at work, and I find that it's easier to do that when you're shooting a comedy.

I really enjoy getting to go and play on other people's shows for an episode or two. It adds such variety to my repertoire.

I think television scripts have become really intriguing and well-done. And writers have stopped drawing any actual line between film and television they used to never cross.

I'm not a big lingerie girl. I see it, and I love it, and I appreciate it, and sometimes I even buy it, and then it never gets worn. It just seems like kind of a wasted middle step. Either you're dressed or you're not. What is this in-between stuff?

When I started, I had a really hard time getting work. It was the mid- to late-nineties. There was the WB. My age was perfect for it, but I just never came across as a youngster. I had to grow into my age in order to start working, and by the time I did, it was when things started to get good.
