I've always been someone who really watches other people, human behavior. To watch it and be able to express it through your version has always been really exciting to me

I like to look for gifts throughout the year. If I find the perfect item for someone, I put it in my "gift closet" and keep it for the next holiday. But I often get too excited and just give it to them before!

In the beginning, it was odd to have so much attention brought to my body type. I thought, "Uh-oh, brace yourself." But everyone has been so positive. During the first season, a woman came up to me at dinner and said, "I just want to thank you - watching you has made me proud of my body." I thought, What an amazing thing for someone to say! To make anyone feel good about themselves makes me feel good.

I was the nerdy one. I always played those kind of characters until Mad Men.

Any woman who is currently with a man is with him partly because she loves the way he smells. And if we haven't smelled you for a day or two and then we suddenly are within inches of you, we swoon. We get light-headed. It's intoxicating. It's heady.

If my legs are showing, the makeup artist adds a tiny amount of foundation to body lotion and rubs it in.

Cats appear to have a wonderful ability to weed out everything they don't need to know, while honing in on what is important to them.
