Bunny boiler is now part of our language, and I'm proud of that.
stars thinking movie-star
I never got into this business thinking I'd be like a movie star.

leadership wisdom pain
Robin [Williams] was a world treasure. As we mourn his tragic death, we must remember him for the great waves of laughter that he was able to illicit from us, how his humor and insights - though they came from a place of pain and uncertainty - connected us and reminded us of how flawed and fragile...how human we are. How we are capable of moments of inspired transcendence and others of unspeakable despair.

I get bored talking about myself, but I can talk about the work.
careers bored pace
And when you're with a great crew like we had, it becomes a thrilling, again, collaboration, which is to me one of the great aspects of the process that you go through. I find myself at this point in my career, getting potentially, incredibly bored if I stand around a lot, so that's why I really like the pace of television.

I've often been mistaken for Meryl Streep, although never on Oscar night.

Diva has a negative connotation.
differences one-day thrill
As far as the difference for me between television and movies, I really thrill to the pace of television. As exhausting as it can be - there was actually one day when we never went to bed.
views law enforcement
I had a great time on The Shield. From working on it I have a totally different view of law enforcement.
