I take the no-doughnut pledge, and then I break it.

I didn't grow up identifying with beauty. I grew up thinking I could be smart and funny - those are the things I got feedback on.

I live with someone, actor Peter Krause, who didn't find an interest in being an actor until the very end of college. So my message is: There's so much freedom left. There's no ticking clock. It's just not true.

You want the story to end when it's supposed to and not be squeezed for somebody's financial gain.

I came from a Sorkin-like project in the sense that there was no freedom to change a line, which, in a weird way, is its own freedom because you're living within that structure and know this is what it is. You just adjust. Every project has its own personality.

Once again, I've been thwarted by the massive difference between my vision of the successful me and the me I'm currently stuck with.

Personally, all I ever want to be wearing are jeans.
