Acting for kids is like playing house, you know? But growing up in Hollywood, it just made it seem possible.

I feel like I had a great career in a way. Maybe not the most successful monetarily or in other ways, but creatively, I feel incredibly fortunate.

I loved acting as a kid because I was kind of shy, so it brought me out of myself.

Not to compare an actor to a painter, but you can go through different phases and still be the same artist, y'know?

I've had moments where I realize my body isn't going to withstand many more seasons, but I am very satisfied with my career and I am trying not to look at retirement as a sad thing.

I never understood why women wanted equality in the workplace when in fact, that would be selling them short.

I was doing a show at the National Youth Theatre, playing an old man. Before that I had played fat clowns and I thought, 'If I want to have the career I would like, I am going to have to lose weight.' I was just starting drama school, and found I was moving around a lot. I also started to eat sensibly. The weight just dropped off.

Like anything, I remember who I work for. You work for the people who sent you to office.
