I grew up in a crazy, gypsy-like household of actors, dancers and loony Broadway people. It was their way of life, and I didn't know anything else.

In a weird way, I live vicariously through the characters I play as an actor.

You want to work with good people. When you're working with good people, it frees you up. There's nothing worse, as an actor, to show up and then feel like you have to protect yourself somehow because you don't feel like you're in good hands.

I was really lucky that, through my 20s, I got to work with some amazing people, and I tried to sit back and watch and learn.

As an audience member, I live vicariously through the characters I watch or read about. There's something very relatable about comic-book characters. They're never perfect. They're flawed people put in extraordinary circumstances.

I'm crazy and I don't pretend to be anything else.
