I would have gone to law school, or gotten a psychology degree. I wasn't interested in sleeping on a futon forever. And what happened is I walked into auditions, and I had nothing to lose, because I had a backup plan.
I'm the kind of person who always has to be on time and I'm incredibly professional.
It's one thing in this business to actually work. 5 percent of the Screen Actors' Guild works. It's another thing to do work that's satisfying and that people are loving.
I'm a believer in 'Ignorance is bliss.'
I don't understand executives that pit women against each other, the fact that they brought in 'Body of Proof,' Dana Delaney is a friend of mine, and the two of us were just rolling our eyes, it's like, of course, you finally have two great female leads and you're going to put us on against each other.
I feel a tremendous responsibility to my crew, to my cast, to every guest star that comes on.
I feel responsible that everyone has a really wonderful experience and to do the best work possible, and to always know my lines and to always be on time and to bring a level to the show in terms of quality that other people will follow.
The room is full of such talent. It's a beautiful thing about the SAG Awards. It's the most rewarding room to be in as an actor.
The red carpet is really the only thing that makes me nervous.
