I've always idolized Amy Poehler, because I think she's the best of the best as far as female comedy.

I've definitely grown, and I think I've done enough stuff that people might look at me only as Veronica Mars. But honestly, I really don't mind if they do.

I'm not recognized very often, and if I am, it's a die-hard Veronica Mars fan. Which is usually flattering and an honor. I really try not to think about it.

I think that if you can butter writers up enough, they might give you a little.

Detroit, the heart of the country... I grew up on 10 Mile, 2 miles better than 8 Mile.

I don't think there's anything immature about fighting for the underdog and fighting for people who don't have a voice. I have an intense desire to protect people who can't protect themselves.

I'm not a risk taker. I don't do plunging necklines or really short skirts. I try to stay as classy as possible and provide a little mystery.
