Cynthia Stevenson

I loved doing 'Dead Like Me.' That role was phenomenal to me.

'The Player,' I loved so much because it was such a labor of love on all levels, and it was such an enormous honor to be in a Robert Altman movie.

I think in the world we need more comedy. I wish so much that we could embrace that side of us more. I love to escape through watching comedy, and I wish for more of that in the future.

I laugh at absurdity hardest, then stories, then observations, then bearded men on roller skates.

When I do my makeup, it kind of helps me get into the character that I'm trying to portray.

Although I write to entertain, and try to keep my work free of didacticism, I do have a rather passionate belief in our need to be connected to - and to learn from - history.
