nobody-cares shows
I've been on a lot of shows that nobody cared about.
real acting matter
Real acting is realistic no matter what the medium.
girl thinking light
When I came out here, my manager thought that casting directors might think I'm a girl, and when I did Threat Matrix, they thought Jamie was a little light.
school class training
I never had any classes or went to theatre school like a lot of actors, so all of my training has been on stage with different directors. That was a pretty good school room.
biggest marriage surprise
The biggest surprise about our marriage is that Erin was out there.
biggest comedy desperate difference great housewives mark
The biggest difference is, Desperate Housewives is really funny, because Mark Cherry, the creator, is a really great comedy writer.
grocery people store talking three time watch women
It slows down grocery shopping, because so many women at the store watch the show. I always end up talking to two or three people every time I go to Ralphs. It's fun.
cast work
The cast is so big that you really don't work very much.
abc afraid confident four last nobody struggling third

cherry course heightens knew marc onto themes universal
And of course Marc Cherry heightens it and makes it hilarious. But there's so many universal themes in the show, and he made it so funny. We knew he was onto something if he could keep it up and, thankfully, he did.
acting theatre work
I think theatre helped, only because it was acting experience. I got to work with a lot of directors.
certainly chip figure gonna good laugh people
I think that's the kind of thing you have to chip away at. I think, eventually, people will go, 'Oh, OK, there's no story there.' You know what I mean? Certainly all of our being here isn't gonna make it stop. But you just have to laugh about it and go, 'Eventually, they're going to figure out that they're all pretty good friends.' But it'll take some time, for sure.
came follower kindness knew
I never really knew when it was on. It kind of came and went without me noticing. I've never been a big follower of pageants.
country hate musical sort
Because there's so much of it as a kid, you sort of rebel, so you hate country music. I never had any musical aspirations at all.
