I prefer to work with first-time directors.

I'll be honest, I like shooting 'New Girl.' I like the people. The show is still new to me. I've never done TV like this before.

I got really into writing plays. I did that for years and years and got some produced and didn't like it as much when I wasn't able to control it.

I like fictional stories - like, things that never happened but the seed of it starts as real.

I prefer to work with first-time directors.

I was in a two-person show [with Oliver Ralli] called the Midwesterners where we wrote all of our own stuff and we traveled the country with it. That's what eventually led me to L.A.

Some actors pride themselves on disappearing into a role. I'm into the game because I like experiencing and exploring themes, so I put a lot of myself into the person.
