I'm not very comfortable being an actorvist so to get to do something that I believe in is a much more comfortable way for me to be political.

I always feel like a doctor who loses a patient on the operating table or something where I felt just devastated and I beat myself up until I get to try it the next night and “I'll get it better tonight.” So I'm hard on myself. I think I'm not alone in that regard with acting.

Aaron Sorkin wrote me one of the best female roles on television, I think. He's a wonderful writer for all people. If he chooses to write, hopefully he'll write something that involves more women next time, because I would love to do it.

I think it was a subject matter that The Social Network didn't involve a lot of women. That's all I think it is.

I guess my height has hurt me as much as it's helped me. In comedy people don't mind casting tall women next to shorter men. It adds to the humour.

I can access emotions very easily.

I love working on the fly when the writers come up with new jokes on show nights. It's exciting. I love it so much.
