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

I'm also 31 years old. It's not like I'm some kid who can be slapped across the newspaper pages like some harlot.

My first acting role as a kid was on Freaks and Geeks.

It's too scary in television. It's scary to sign a six-year contract for something that you don't necessarily know about.

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

Don't peak in high school.

I try to bring elements of my own personality to every character I've played, but I think I'm pretty similar to the character I'm playing now. The biggest departure would have to have been Freaks' and Geeks Sara, who was this sort of subordinate and shy girl.
