I was a late bloomer. I'm not one of those girls who's like, "I love my body! Hey, everybody, come look at my body!

I had a bat mitzvah, was confirmed, went to Jewish summer camp, I go to temple for the High Holy Days. I think, like most people in their early 20s, I kind of strayed away from it. I think once I have a family I'll be back into it

In fact, the first time I ever got naked on TV was the biggest confidence booster of my life.

On Masters of Sex, especially in the pilot, everybody was showing up word-perfect, and youre expected to show up word-perfect.

I really like doing television shows, and I anticipated doing a comedy, because thats the place I feel the most comfortable - those are the risks I want to take.

If I was on Game of Thrones, I think the nudity and sex questions would probably get irritating, but this is a show about sex.

I think it's necessary to identify with anything - with any character you play, there's got to be something in common, so you can link up to that person, even if it's like one tiny thing. But it's equally fun to play somebody completely different, and trying to find what that thing is to make it.
