I love to work on a set whether it's mostly men or mostly women, but there's something about being in a community of women that changes the energy.

Just because someone isn't working at an office doesn't mean they're not working hard at something.

I think I'm going to spend some time learning how to be a first-time mom, and then I'll go back to work.

I think you have to have a little bit of a screw loose to think that you can [become an actor] because the odds are so against you. I was just crazy enough to think I could do it.

I think there are great roles for women in television because there is time to allow those characters to evolve. Even if you're the wife or the girlfriend or whatever it is that we women are, playing those things on TV, they are much more drawn out and there are greater arcs for the role. The roles are more integral to the complexity of the story.

Yes, I'm very close to my family. And being that close to your family, I think you also struggle with how to become your own person.

People who have no idea it's me when they first see me playing something, and later they realize, 'That's her from whatever it is,' it's a great compliment that they can forget.
