My mother was predominately a stay-at-home Mom.

My only goal is to make the crew laugh, basically. It's the only litmus I have to know, is this good or not?

I think Girls is so great, because versions of it are close to my own experience of moving to New York. It's a fun. You know - get to be messy and silly and irresponsible, but also wrap that up at the end of the day and be an adult. It's a fun time, but not necessarily one you want to stay in for too long.

Always my fallback is - I'm gonna move to a poor town and open a scone shop.

The majority of celebrities that come to the show actually don't come backstage. Because they don't know that they can.

Even though I'm from the Midwest, the majority of my life has been spent on the coasts where being gay wasn't really much of a conversation.

This is a musical, ma'am. If there's no gay, there's a problem.
