I only like people to know what I want them to know. People didn't know what Tupac was doing. That's why he was so iconic.
The biggest neurological turn-on for people is other people. This is what really excites us. In reward terms, it's not money; it's not being given cash - that's nice - it's doing stuff with our peers, watching us, collaborating with us.
'The Count' wasn't a real stretch. I was doing pretty generic Bela Lugosi bad vampire on purpose. It was supposed to be lame. I didn't put fangs on; it was a guy who was just going through the motions. I drew on the widow's peak with eyebrow pencil and wore a turtleneck, not a tux.
Prison is no hardship, really. I'm in the art room as an assistant to the tutor, and basically, I'm doing what I like.
TV actors are doing great in Bollywood. We have our own market, our own fans, who love to see us on the big screen.
When I've done TV and film, when it's offered to me, I loved doing it, and I would do it again, but the ins and outs of auditioning is - that's time away from my kids.
By the time I started doing TV and film, I was in my forties, so I wasn't going to do the young up-and-comer.
I've been doing theater for a long time, so that's something I understand. I'm such a babe in the woods when it comes to TV and film. I'm still learning. It's exciting.
One thing I really want to do is - I spent ten years in New York doing theater before I moved to L.A. to do TV and film. I'd really like to go to back New York and do some theater.
I gave up planning when our children were born, when I had three children to feed and a roof to keep over our head and all of that. Early in my career, I said I would never do television at all; then I wound up doing nothing but television for 10 years when I did 'St. Elsewhere' and all those TV movies.
I see myself directing, writing, doing my own TV shows and movies.
I've always appreciated a creative approach to action, doing things that people don't expect, tweaking things to make them different.
Sure, 'Twilight' is really huge right now and everybody's freaking out over it, but it will go away soon and I will be back to doing what I'm used to doing: weird little movies that nobody sees.
Once I had left 'Twin Peaks' and started doing other shows and other movies, I kept running into, 'No, no, we can't do it this way. This is the way it has to happen.' I'm like, 'No. I've already done it, and it worked, so I don't understand what you're saying.'
Obviously, doing TV and doing theater are completely different because they're two totally different mediums. On stage, you worry about your voice and how you move physically. On TV, something like an eye twitch is what they could be looking for from you because it's so contained.
I don't want to get typecast and I've been doing a lot of stuff to make that happen and not be the case.
Peace is the umpire for doing the will of God.
My way of viewing the talking filibuster was as a way of doing unanimous consent with your feet. You object by going down and talking.
Perhaps I'm particularly serious, because I'm not unaware of the potential absurdity of what I'm doing.
I watched Mark Rylance in the Broadway revival of 'La Bete,' and it knocked my socks off. The complete commitment, passion, and unbridled enjoyment in every moment of what he was doing was overwhelming.
