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.

The Farrelly brothers make movies the way you imagine a movie set would be when you're a kid - fun all the time.

I'd been out in Los Angeles for about eight years, knocking around. I actually, instead of waiting tables, worked in offices as a temporary assistant.

I studied theater in college, and I really wanted to be an actress and play a lot of different roles. Then I made landing on a television comedy my main focus.

I didn't want to go to college. I wanted to move to Los Angeles right out of high school.

I'm a believer in the parent first, friend second philosophy, and trying to find that balance.

Tilda Swinton is a great example of a person who completely disappears into a role.
