I Remember When I Took The Role

After I Finished 'e.r.', I Wanted To Concentrate On Re-examining What Kind Of Actress I Am And Taking Time For Real-life Things.

I Love To Work On A Set Whether It's Mostly Men Or Mostly Women, But There's Something About Being In A Community Of Women That Changes The Energy.

I Think There Are Great Roles For Women In Television Because There Is Time To Allow Those Characters To Evolve. Even If You're The Wife Or The Girlfriend Or Whatever It Is That We Women Are, Playing Those Things On Tv, They Are Much More Drawn Out And There Are Greater Arcs For The Role. The Roles Are More Integral To The Complexity Of The Story.

I've Been Very Lucky To Have Been Chosen For And To Have Chosen Roles That Are Good. Some Are Better Than Others And Some Projects Are Better Than Others, Whether It's Female Or Male Characters. There's Still More That We Can Do And There's Still More Stories To Be Told. I Would Love To See More Female-driven Projects In General.

I Think The Hardest Thing About The Part Is The Responsibility That You Feel Playing Something That Is So Real And Resonant In Our Times. There Are People Coming Home Right Now With Those Stories, And I'm Just An Actress Pretending To Be That Person. You Hope That You Can Shed Some Light On Somebody's Predicament.
