I am generally cast as the dependable, affable, loving, friend-wife-girlfriend.

I don't think that there's been one example in history where somebody has openly talked about their personal life and it's done them any good.

There's people who watch shows while they're preparing their dinners, and they don't want to focus, and they don't want to be challenged, and whatever. And then there's people who want to really sit down and get into a character in a world, and feel like they're expanding, or they have complex relationships, or whatever.

It's hard to find female leads that are flawed and interesting and dynamic.

I was like, 'Oh, my God, girls are so pretty and soft. No stubble burn! What am I doing with guys?' [I] haven't dipped back since, but I was very appreciative of the experience.

I've never been in a writer's room.

I definitely work pretty hard to stay present and focused. I've also tried to create a life for myself where I'm surrounded by honest, loyal, and funny people, because I like to laugh.
