I have always been an animal lover. I had a hard time disassociating the animals I cuddled with - dogs and cats, for example - from the animals on my plate, and I never really cared for the taste of meat. I always loved my Brussels sprouts.

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

Being a mom can be so isolating, and hanging out with other moms is very, very healthy.

I think that we, as monkeys, want to live in smaller groups. It's very scary when we're all - as wonderful as it is - connected.

I have the best roommates in the world! It creates a fun sense of family... and that's really important to me. Things can get so lonely without it.

As the actor, you just have to believe in what your character is doing in order to play them.

I'm very used to playing the tomboy or the sarcastic cynic. That's my go-to. Playing the vulnerable of a real girl that's in real womanlike situations, where it's romanticized, I'm a little nervous about it.
