Who are some of your favorite actors and actresses?
Amanda Roblin, Napanee, Ontario
One of my favorite all-time duos was Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy. Individually, they were both very gifted at what they did, and together they were magical. I've got a huge crush on Orlando Bloom. Johnny Depp is gorgeous and I love him, but ever since I saw Pirates of the Caribbean I was like, "Oh, yeah! I'd watch Orlando in a pirate shirt wielding a sword." He’s also a great, fine actor. Cate Blanchett is extremely versatile and underrated.

Do you have any desire to do more theater? 
Amanda Bauner, New York City
Yes, I do. Realistically, I don't see it happening until I'm in my 50s. I see it as something I'll have time for when my kids are a little bit older.

I read that you used to write poetry. I was wondering if you still do, and if there is anywhere online that I could read some of your work?
Chris Rumsey, Clinton, Okla.
That's sweet. I haven't written poetry in years. I'm much more focused on writing and pitching television shows right now. I love pitching. I've become quite the chatterbox, as you well know. I enjoy telling stories. I'm in a different place right now, but I've always thought about writing books, so we’ll see.

Have you ever suspected that something romantic occurred between Olivia and Edmund in the past?
Emily Schmuhl, Taylorsville, Utah
Yes, David Andrew Macdonald (Edmund) and I always believed that. We played that they had a relationship before she and Richard got involved, but it's never been talked about.
