I really want my career to be as an actor-writer-director-producer, you know? I don't know what will be stronger than the other.

I still recognized for television. Buffy is 70 percent, Gilmore Girls is 30 percent, and then Mad Men. If it's a mother/daughter, it's definitely Gilmore Girls. They usually say, "We always watch it together, and we feel like we're the Gilmore girls." I've heard that like, 5,000 times.

I wouldn't say I'm a political junkie. I follow it. I read a few articles every day.

My strangest auditioning experience was when I was reading for a TV show, and right when I started the audition, the casting director left the room and yelled at me from the hallway to keep reading.

I was a volleyball player as a kid. I played volleyball all the time.

I find that when people get a script, they know within five pages if the writer can write. Once you're five pages in, it doesn't matter whose name is on the cover, you're not even thinking about it.

Usually if a scene's really hard to write, I just don't write it. Nothing's coming to mind.
