My whole thing is I just always wanted to be a working actor and I just wanted to stop waiting tables.

I moved to New York and couldn't get a job as an actor. And waited tables for so long.

Once I started working as a professional actor, it was like, 'Bye-bye waiting tables, bye-bye bartending, bye-bye all the cliched jobs actors do.' But after a year of not getting work, there's this really difficult conflict, like, 'Do I have to go back to being a waiter when people recognize me from a show?'

I was a waitress years ago when I was first trying to become an actress, waiting tables in New York City.

I can't remember a time when I didn't want to be an actor. It has just always been an inevitability on some level.

By being a waiter 100 percent, I think I was a lot like any other actor in New York. I had credits because I'd work lunches during the week, and then on a Wednesday would go be lucky enough to be in a movie like 'Kinsey.'

I don't ever feel like I'm being an actor.

I'd always wanted to be an actor, ever since I was very little. I don't know why.

When I was 16 and wanted to be an actor, people told me to go work at the supermarket.

I'm an actor. If you had said to me before I started acting that I'd get two bites of the cherry - you would do things that people will remember forever like 'The Brothers' which I did in the '70s and now 'Doctor Who' - I'd have been overjoyed and I still am.
