Jeffrey Combs

I gravitated to acting out of a mixture of instinct, naivete and opportunity.

It's who you know and who can help you.

I also sort of find the idea that not only do actors want to please when they're onstage, I find actors really want to please off stage a lot of the time, don't they?

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

I've always been very determined, ever since I was a little girl, to make my way.

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.
