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'm not homely enough to play the nerdy girl and not nearly pretty enough to play the pretty girl.

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.

There has to be this balance of reality for a woman. I don't want to play women who just serve a purpose for the script.

What was previously perceived as nerdy is now viewed as original. What I like about nerdiness, geekiness, is it doesn't really matter what you're into - it just means you're not a follower.

I just don't ever want to play the girlfriend. You know, the supporting character in the background who just sort of comes in and goes, "Oh, shucks." It's just a boring character.
