Things are changing. I've been training since I was 9 years old to stretch my wings as an actor dramatically, but have never really been afforded the opportunity to show that.

I want to stretch myself as an actor.

Especially as a director on 'West Wing,' I directed a lot of different things in a lot of different ways and really stretched my wings.

As an actor, I'm always so excited about those things that I get to stretch my legs and really get to do something that's hard to do.

But as an actor you do want to challenge yourself and step outside what you have done in the past and that what I like to do, I like to jump around and try different things and stretch myself.

I love being the character actor. I get to stretch my muscles a little more.

The goal is always just trying to stretch yourself as an actor.

I guess I've always wanted to push the boundaries as an actor.

I like to stretch my acting muscles.

As an artist, you want to stretch. That's the only way you're going to grow. If I stay inside my comfort zone, do roles that I've done before, then I'm never going to get better as an actress.
