Working on 'Mad Men,' everything is word for word. And, honestly, I couldn't come up with anything better than that, so it's fine.

I went through a whole phase when I was younger of being obsessed with Tolstoy and Kafka and Camus, all those really, beautiful, dark depressing books.

I know that I'm a decent actor, but it's another thing to be in a scene with Jon Hamm and hold your own.

I'm not an '80s fan. I'm more '70s New York pre-punk kind of thing, and I guess I grew up with '90s grunge, post-punk pop music.

I like to sing around the bonfire, in my car and in the shower.

I do feel like the end of 'Mad Men' is a sort of a coming of age.

At the time I just was like, I can't believe I am on the show, and the first thing I have to do is an entire song and dance routine for the whole cast of 'Mad Men.'

My natural gravitation is toward the gray and the black and the white and the burgundy. Sort of muted, cool colors.

Believe me, when I finish shooting 'Mad Men,' there's a huge chunk of time where I have a really hard time leaving my house without fake lashes on. Which is a complex because I'm not very good at applying fake lashes.

I used to listen to the soundtrack for the movie 'Tank Girl' all the time. It was really good.

'Mad Men' has been my big break. I'm beyond thrilled.

I'm not a trained dancer - I know, I know, you're shocked, I'm sure.

I didn't want to have braces when I was a kid and I'm pretty sure my dad didn't want to pay for them.

In the work that I normally do, you have a whole script, a whole arc, that you play. And I do believe a good actor will play every bit of information they're given.

I have an enormous family because I'm from Montreal and my family's Catholic, so my dad has eight siblings and they all have kids and we all grew up in the same property on weekends and summers.

One of my most exciting Saturday nights was just me and a bottle of wine and a crochet book.

I did play Jesus in 'Godspell,' in high school, because I guess I'm a nerd.

And, of course, all of my friends and family are so excited because they feel like Montreal is being represented on Mad Men.
