JESSICA HECHT

I'm the only one in my family - I'm a practicing Jew - who has attached themselves to religion in a more traditional way.

Working with Bryan Cranston on 'Breaking Bad' has been totally thrilling because he is so clear in his approach.

Maybe at 87 you slow down a drop, but between 44 and 64, there is no difference.

I'm Reconstructionist; I don't serve the Sabbath, but I go to synagogue.

I don't mean to in any way impugn the makers of Bentley, but that car is nuts. When I do drive, I drive a Toyota Prius. So driving around the streets of Albuquerque in a Bentley made me feel so fake-a-rooney.

I was pregnant with my first child during 'Stop/Kiss,' and for whatever reason, the fact that I was so physically uncomfortable allowed me to be freer in the role.

People always think I'm so calm and ethereal. But my family certainly doesn't feel that way all the time. They tease me about it.

I think I usually play the woman that, after the person tries to go for some extraordinary feat of romantic accomplishment, they happily wind up with me.

Interesting to me, at least, is that often you meet certain king of people and you feel, in their company, extremely warm and hopeful that they care about you, but you also think that they probably have 10 other people they put their attention to. You think, "Wow, this person is making me feel so special and like they really love me." But the savvy part of me thinks, "They probably do that to everybody."

Often if you are very, very close with someone, sometimes it does not read. In effect, your dynamic onstage is defused. You share too much onstage. There's sort of a blurring of behavior that doesn't read to the audience as chemistry.
