I went to drama school at New York University.

In real life, my son had a little injury a couple of years ago where we had moved into a new house and he put his hand through a glass window and it cut him really badly. Thank god he had surgery and repaired everything, but I remember I felt frozen I was so scared, and then I realized I was holding my hand just because his hand was hurt.

Sometimes a fan comes up to me, and I'm really interested in how they're acting, so I'll study them and use that in my material.

I feel like there is this resurgence of amazing roles for women. It's because TV is so good - there are amazing parts for women on TV, and it's upped the game in movies.

Nobody knows how long you're going to have life on Earth, so you really have to work at being joyous and happy.

I'm very driven by writing.

I do use my body a lot, to click into a character.
