If you’re in a popular TV show, you can attract attention, and I like to help focus that on stories that deserve to be told – which is what politicians do. But I would lose my autonomy, and to get things done I would have to compromise and get into the weeds of policy. I don’t know if I’m smart enough.

My mother’s whole family had been from the theater, really. Because I grew up in Hollywood, I wasn’t that interested in Hollywood. But the New York theater was completely exotic and fabulous to me.
