I'm very serious about acting.

Theatre demands different muscles and different aspects of one's personality.

I believe that acting in any medium is the same thing, it's discovering the truth in where you are.

It's disgusting that a Broadway show can't try out anymore, that no matter where they are in the world, there is this massive dialogue going on between people damning or praising it.

The most sinister aspect of Jack is his detachment, his ability to distance himself from his feelings.

I find that everything I do is demanding, like Jack Bristow is a complicated man and I do a lot of explaining in the show, it takes a lot of energy and concentration.

The hardest thing for me is not to keep laughing. Jennifer particularly is like a clown.

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.

Thank goodness I started getting movie roles and then television shows came along. So I was very fortunate to be able to do all three and I like all of them.

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

I've been amazed that it's so popular with people. But it's been fantastic. People are very excited when I walk into a place and they recognize me from the series.

The whole house seemed to exhale a melancholy breath of emptiness

Of all ills that one endures, hope is a cheap and universal cure.

A hundred times every day I remind myself that my inner and outer life are based on the labors of others.

What's breaking into a bank compared with founding a bank?

Wouldn't it be nice if the internet blew up?

Don't wait for your break, make your break. Go make it happen for yourself.

You can see the clouds rolling in and thunder is imminent.

Obviously the audience has veto power signified by whether they laugh or not, but you-not them-retain the ultimate power to decide what they're going to get the opportunity to laugh at.

If you're fighting to limit other women's rights, then you can't really call yourself a feminist.

Stay in your lane. If you're good enough, people will move to you.
