Every role is a potential lover. I ask: Are they someone I want to wake up to in the morning and go to bed with at night? Do they question my assumptions about life? Consume me to distraction? Make my cry, then clown to make me laugh again? If I say yes, then it's all I need.
I love going to weddings. I love movie scenes of weddings. Even, like, TV-show weddings - I cry at every wedding.
I think I have it all. But I won't say that the credit for all that goes to me. I think the credit for all that goes to everybody around me.

If it makes you cry, it goes in the show.
