It's Very Exciting To Have

I Love Doing Sitcoms And I Love Performing In Front Of A Live Audience, So [payne] Was A Really Fun Experience.

I Went In For An Audition [for As Good As It Gets], But The Audition Was With James L. Brooks. I Was The First Girl In That Morning, And There Was A Whole Waiting Room Of Girls Waiting To Read For It. So I Did My Audition, And He Asked Me To Step Outside. So I Stepped Outside, And When He Asked Me To Come Back In, He Looked At Me, And He Said, "well, I'm Very Excited To Work With You On Set." And I Was, Like, "what?" I Thought It Was A Hollywood Blow-off.

During The Rehearsal Process I Got Thrown Off The Horse.

So It's Nice To Know That Rita Had That Impact, And It Was Nice To End A Character On A High Note Like That. But, Again, In The Moment... I Always Say, Nobody Was More Devastated Than Me [from Rita's Death In Dexter]!

Working With Dario [argento] Was A Lot Of Fun. He's A Larger-than-life Character, And With An Italian Accent.
