I always worry that people are going to be very confused; sometimes timelines get confused with how movies get made. So when I say, "Oh, I made this movie when I was going through a divorce," people think, "Oh no! She's pregnant with a child and divorced?"

I know so many amazing actors who don't get work... and then there are a bunch of real duds that work all the time. The industry is just not fair in that way.

Sometimes doing a movie for a short period of time is better than committing eight months to a television show.

Even in college I tended to get cast in the comedies more. It was what I liked doing.

I went to a little liberal-arts college in Missouri called Truman State University.

Laura from The Mysteries Of Laura is the most different from me personally that I've ever played. I'm a very thoughtful, forward-thinking, planner kind of person. I love Excel spreadsheets and five-year-plans, and I love to review every year how my New Year's resolutions went. I'm like that, and that is not Laura at all.

When I'm writing my blog, I think of myself at 13 years old, back in St. Louis, daydreaming about Hollywood.
