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.

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

I wanted to see myself as something different, and I wanted to convince people that I was capable of something other than what they would expect from me.

There is a certain expectation of girls to eventually grow up and behave and fall in line. I've always bucked against that.

Everybody hangs out with everybody, which is very strange for a cast this large and this young. We're all cool and down to earth and not caught up in this maniacal business at all.... Everybody really, really likes everybody else.

I find that break-ups are so much easier when you can hate the person.

I'm extra harsh on pilot scripts, which is difficult because pilots, generally, are not that great. You have to imagine the whole series instead of just that one script, and I have a really hard time doing that.
