If you were to come to the set of Alias, you'd know how silly we all are. And I mean, silly.

In our show you have to pay attention and know what happened before. I think it's very intelligent entertainment. It makes demands of viewers that a lot of shows don't.

I had done some TV movies that were great experiences but, no, I wasn't looking to do a series.

You can only do so much theatre.

And when I go to see plays, I marvel at how people can do that. I've done it all my life, but I still find it mystical.

You have to find something there that relates to the characters and reality on some level.
