A lot of people think I'm that guy in 'Betsy's Wedding', but I'm not. What it is for me is that, on some level, I connect with the character emotionally.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
People are always thinking that I'm the main character in my books, but each one has been different, and sometimes they've been men.
A lot of the scripts I read and the characters I get are 'the girl' in romantic films, and I don't know how comfortable I am, or the world is, with me being that.
I feel like a character actress - it's where I'm comfortable.
I'm primarily a character actress.
I am like my characters - sometimes even the female ones.
I do know that I like to play characters that are sometimes a little on the outside - that's because it feels kind of romantic and sexier to me. I really think they are the people that we learn lessons from.
I'd say I'm a pretty intense person. I'm definitely not my Denise character on 'Scrubs,' nor my Jane character on 'Happy Endings,' but I'm a mix of the two. I really feel that I'm kind of every character that I've ever played; it's just a part of me. And I am a bit of a control freak like Jane. I'm very, perhaps, obsessive like that.
I'm an actor and I've created a lasting and memorable character named Frasier, who is not me, but who most people think is. So when I have a chance to play something that's different, I embrace it because it's fun; also in this case, he's a memorable character.
Don't think for a moment that I'm really like any of the characters I've played. I'm not. That's why it's called 'acting'.
I am not somebody who meets a man or a woman somewhere and feels like that is an incredible character that I must write into a play.
