I'm actually really proud of how I believe people perceive me in this industry. I worked really hard to be seen in a certain way. I think I get a lot of respect for what I usually do. I find that comedic world completely fulfilling and wonderful and they're all my best friends.

It took me a long time to realize that being a girl is so much more powerful than being a guy, but I really saw myself as boy for a long while.

When you're shooting a network television show it inevitably starts airing a few episodes in, and depending on the ratings and the response from the public, you find yourself tweaking your performance or the scripts go in a different direction.

There's only so many times you can read how ugly you are and how much people hate you.

I feel lucky because most of my friends aren't married. So I don't feel that, 'oh, step on it, you're thirty.'

It's weird, It's really weird to be called a breakout star. And some people are referring to my show as the new 'Friends', which I can't really even wrap my head around

I usually don't know how to fight hard for roles. I've certainly sent a passionate letter or two... which always leads nowhere.
