Even when I was a kid, I had this insane head of flaming hair. It looked like a wig.

We don't ask for opinions on our outfit all the time - but for a big of event, like the Emmys, absolutely. I actually sent my sister a picture of the [J Mendel] dress I wore to the Emmys before I chose it, and she was obsessed. She was like, "Oh, I want that." And I said, "Let me wear it first!"

I thought [Johnny Wujek] was really cute. And so, I was super shy about getting naked in front of him. I didn't want to show him my goods...because I thought he might be straight.

I like traditions, and the national anthem is important.

There's nothing worse than people who want to make you feel better when you are losing. I just want to smack them.

I guess it's easier to get things made when you know the story you want to tell, you know the characters you want to play, and you know the filmmakers you want to tell them with.

Of course any actor is going to be happy to be nominated for an Oscar - absolutely - but I don't really think of it in that way. I've never really thought of my job in that way, because that's just a lot of pressure to be working towards one goal. I'm much more interested in finding roles that make me feel happy about going to work every day.
