Belly buttons are cool!
As I've gotten older, I've gotten more liberal, and my father is increasingly conservative. It's so shocking to me because I always thought we had the same politics. The day I realized we voted for different presidents, I practically fell out of my chair.
I get a delivery of a diet food during the week, which doesn't mean that I don't eat the occasional Krispy Kreme doughnut.
One thing I've learned is I actually don't like variety very much. I like having the same thing over and over: assorted lean proteins, arugula salad, quinoa or brown rice with soy sauce, olive oil, lemon, and salt. Those ingredients can pretty much get me through the week.
Acting is the most bizarre profession. You can stay in it for years and not really be in it and be waiting for someone to give you an opportunity. It's like when I watch 'American Idol' and see people who have been told to believe in themselves at all costs: It's not always a good idea.
Personally, all I ever want to be wearing are jeans.
Growing up an only child with a single parent is probably why I'm an actor.
I've always thought my strengths were I'm smart, and I have a good sense of humor. I definitely struggle with feeling confident.
Perspective is the most important thing to have in life.
My time at Barnard was fun but stressful. I transferred there from the acting conservatory at NYU, and my Rolling Around On the Floor Pretending to Be a Lion classes didn't translate into many academic credits.
I get concerned when I see kids on their phones. They don't read enough anymore, anything longer than a tweet.
Texting is not flirting, if you don't care about me enough to say the words than that's not love, I don't like it!
All my references are 50 years old-when somebody shot J.R., you know? Oh my god, I'm 100!
I've made out more this season on a family-friendly show than ever in my actual life.
Honestly, I was such a tomboy as a kid. People were taking from their mothers' closets - I was taking from my dad's closet. It was the '80s, so it wasn't terrible, but I was wearing my dad's dress shirts over jeans from the Gap.
Well, it's more of a sane life to be part of an ensemble! I find that the work can be more specific too and I have to really make sure I know where I am in the story because I'm not in every scene.
If I had a normal job and had been moving up, I'd be management level now.
Some people think my father was a spy, because of working for that government agency in Vietnam, but he can't find his car keys, much less keep a national secret.
The parts for women, you're either like the quietly suffering wife or the wild girl.
You want the story to end when it's supposed to and not be squeezed for somebody's financial gain.
