Most actors are pretty adaptable because we work with so many directors.

Actors have an unusual perspective on clothing. You've really got to know the impact of what you're wearing on the character you're playing.

Everyone has their 'Showgirls.' We remember the great films actors have been in, and the rest get forgotten. But occasionally, people like to revisit the ones that get swept aside.

Most of the film directors expect their actors to want to work fast.

'Portlandia' is the most fun show. When I get a breakdown of what the arc of the story is going to be, I could never in my wildest dreams anticipate the direction.

I originally wanted to be an opera singer. I studied classical voice at the University of Washington but soon realised I didn't have the instrument or the discipline. The road for opera singers is more difficult than for actors.
