It's Funny, I Get Really

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

As An Actor, It Made Me Realize A Really Important Lesson. I Didn't Have To Put Any Spin On The Ball As Rita [in Dexter]. All I Had To Do Was Speak. And There Was Such Simplicity In That As An Actor. With Debra, I Was Trying To Put A Square Peg Into A Round Hole, And It Just Didn't Work, But In My Mind, Because I Had To Work So Hard On It, I Was, Like, "oh, This Is Acting!" But That's Not Acting.

I Just Don't Think [payne] Was The Right Time To Do It, Maybe. It Was Timing, Not So Much That It Was Executed Wrong.

It's A Moment That I Will Be Asked About For The Rest Of My Life As An Actor, And I Carry That Moment With Pride, That Rita [in Dexter] Had Such An Impact And That It Was Such A Gut-wrenching Moment For Audience Members.

I Always Say That No Ordinary Family Was The Show That Should've Been.
