I sort of watched everyone go through it on that show ["Grey's Anatomy" ] because I came on later in the first season, so I kind of watched everyone else go through it but really I am so grateful and blessed and feel I have had such a great career and I love that fans love the shows that I do, and so when I get approached I still, I go, "Oh, thank you. That makes me feel good."

When everyone's kind of watching you when you're out and about, it makes it hard.

Everything also calms down with the influx of social media, there's so much happening all the time.

For me, my 20s were all about reaching for the brass ring of work in theater, television, and film, surviving in between by waiting tables, painting houses, serving coffee, and temping.

I have a lot to be grateful for. I really do kind of get into the holiday spirit and try to find something to be grateful for anyway but this is the time of year so.

Age is just a number. Unless, that is, you live in Hollywood, where there's this notion that if you haven't hit it big by your 20s, you may as well hit the road.

I love cooking but I still always go and sneak a little bit of sides from Boston Market, and it's so good. They're so good.
