To be honest, I didn't even know what the Drama Desk Awards were until I was nominated.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I've trained myself not to put too much emphasis on awards, only because I never got into acting to win an award.
You know those award shows. The cliche is that it's an honor just to be nominated, but that happens to be true. Whoever wins it in the end, I don't know, sometimes it feels arbitrary. Sometimes it feels like it's deserving.
I know a lot of procedurals have huge viewership, yet they're never nominated for awards.
I've been nominated for 12 Emmys, and we won - for 'Top Chef' - the only time I didn't go.
Truly what the Emmys are about are the machine behind them, and Oscars are the same way, where if you have a big enough machine behind you, you get nominated, because truly how many of the best performances actually win... not many.
My acting is still being recognized for the fact that I wasn't nominated.
I've never won an award for anything, and I think it's weird. I mean, that's really cool but it's strange to think you could get an award for acting. I always thought that was strange.
First of all, I never make a movie for awards consideration.
I earned two Emmy nominations for writing, and two of the shows I had written were nominated for best in their category.
The Emmy should be an ensemble award, too. I kept howling at everyone else's performances.
