The thing I don't like on television is when somebody does something that makes absolutely no sense just for the shock of it.

There's nothing more important than a good story.

It's great to have an acting job in the age of Reality TV.

None of my characters have really had jobs.

The thing you must really do in television is bring yourself to everything you do - you can't try to be anybody else.

I would rather be a person who struggled there than someone who had a great, easy time and then got out in the world and was like, "Wait a minute, I didn't get voted class president? What's going on?" You know, "popular" doesn't necessarily correlate to anything. "Popular" still has to get up at 7:00 in the morning and go to work and do something worthy too. There's no edge, really, that you get from being whatever was popular in school.

I could never have predicted the invention of streaming, the rerelease of the show Gilmore Girls on Netflix, and that people still wanted to hear about it. I do love how we came back to it, but it was never up to me. It won't be up to me this time, either. If it ended there, I would be sad, but I also like what we did.
