fun party play
We all went to Kelsey's wedding, and yeah, we go to parties. We also go to each other's house. A group of us got together over at Kelsey's and just read through some plays just for the fun of it. That may not be everyone's idea of a good time, but we had a good time.
funny dog years
The first year I was on the show, it took an interviewer about 45 minutes to get it out of me that I even had a dog, and even then I wouldn't tell him the dog's name.
finally grand last
Last year, I finally got my own grand piano, and that was a big thing for me because it's always been and always will be a very important part of my life.
people tire hoot
People can be a hoot on the set, but if they're not good to work with, that tires very quickly.
growing-up sibling college
I don't remember any sibling rivalry growing up, because by the time I was really conscious, Tom was going away to college. My relationship with him, which is a very close one, really developed in more recent years.
laughing found
I found every single laugh as Laertes that you can find and only realized later that you really shouldn't find any at all.
girl school valleys
I was chased through a chateau in the Loire Valley by a bunch of American school girls.
trying acting levels
On some level in acting, what you're trying to find is truth, because when it's true is when it's also funny.
mean week shows
You only have a week to do a show. I mean, there's only so deep you can dig in that week.
support ensemble ive-learned
I don't have the time to tell you all the things I've learned from this cast. It's an extraordinary ensemble because we all support each other so well.
school parent focus
I was going to be a concert pianist, and when I was in high school, my parents were scared to death that I would focus too much on that too soon. And that I'd end up in some sort of dead end, and not fulfilling whatever potential they thought I had.
dad real golf
I went and took golf lessons so Dad would let me play with him. I was just terrible... but I was able to have a wonderful time just walking around with Dad. I can see the real pleasure of that game.
dad grandfather actors
My dad had been an actor... not only had my dad been an actor, but his dad had been an actor, and my great-grandfather had been an actor. And who knows before then?
two half want
There's nothing worse than putting two similar shows back-to-back. Viewers don't want to watch one show and then sit through another half-hour of almost the same thing.
