Tawny: I come from a long line of artists, actually. Actors, writers, many painters… I definitely understand the artist’s struggle with their art and themselves. My brother is a comic-book artist, and I remember spending many days as a teenager hanging out in his bedroom thumbing through his stack of comics. His love of the genre got me to love it also.
Tawny: (about the World Trade Center terrorist attacks) I was there that day, standing on my roof getting vertigo. I still see it fresh in my mind twenty blocks away. It's a wound that hasn't healed
Tawny: My brother, Toby, is a hero of mine. He's got a resilience that might make you think he was made of Teflon.
Tawny: I'd rather take a small part in a really good film than a lead role in a movie with Paris Hilton.
Tawny: (about Heroes) They didn’t want to put all of their eggs in one basket and show-off all their goods at once, so they introduce characters as they come.
