I would prefer to keep my clothes on. Unless there's a brisk breeze or something, I tend to keep them on.

I operate with this sense of needing to live up to what I am asking of people. I am, by far, my own worst critic.

Sometimes fake laughing is hard once you’ve done a scene 18 times. I don’t want to brag, but I have a reputation for being very, very good at that. It’s funny finding what’s challenging about acting as you go.

I started out really into musical theater. So you can imagine I was super popular. I wasn't awkward looking at all.

I was only allowed only to watch public television until I was 12 years old.

I'm so happy that I finished college. Going into this crazy vortex of scrutiny is tough. If I was younger than I was now and I was going to fashion shows, I might have this distorted sense of self. I might rely on those cameras. Because when I was 18, I was half-baked.

I auditioned for 'Girls' the fall after I graduated from Yale. The show has been amazing - as close to perfect as it gets!
