I've actually done a lot of comedy.

I think, especially when you’re on TV, once you become associated with one genre or the other, it’s near impossible to break into the other one, even if you have experience with both.

There is something about my aura or essence, or whatever, that draws the ex-wife characters to me. I don’t seek them out, but people tend to think of me for that particular archetype, or whatever you want to call it, and I don’t mind it. I think there is a strength to it.

I’m at my best when I’m working. Breaks are not great for me. I get frustrated sometimes, if I have a long break and somebody says, “Oh, that must be nice!”

I have some really, really good friends, to whom I’m very close, that I’m not revealing anything to, and that’s really hard.

I don’t dig ditches for a living, so I don’t really hate going to work. I chose this for a reason. I would much prefer to be over-worked than under-worked.

What’s great about New York is that there are a lot of theater actors and actresses, who are trained actors, that they bring onto the show. They’re so talented, in such a weird, quirky and ominous way. And it’s great to be able to work with new faces, too.

Ive actually done a lot of comedy.

Before I read the script [The Following], I saw the schedule, and imagine how confusing that was. I thought it was intriguing. I'm an actress. Even if it's, by proxy, all about me, I'm all for it. It was all about me, but I didn't have to show up, so it was great.

I really am not a weakling. We like to do a lot of takes, so it ends up being pretty physically grueling.
