Honestly, as an actor, all I need to know, the way I kind of look at a scene, is like a puzzle. There are certain puzzle pieces that are bigger than others, and all I need to know is if this is going to fit here to make this part of the puzzle work.

I did a lot of theater growing up, and in college I was in the musical 'Chicago.'

I hate girls who complain, 'Oh, guys are looking at me!' But I love it when guys check me out. It just feels great.

I really got into 'The Walking Dead.' That was genius. And I have to say, my husband is on 'Shameless,' and I think it's a brilliant show.

My great-great-grandfather was a shah back in the 1800s. Unfortunately, I don't have any gold coins or jewels to show for it.

So my views on equality are pretty obvious. I mean I did play a highly complex lesbian techno DJ on TV, but I know it's not always easy to come out and tell the world where you stand.

It's fun to work on location because you get the look and feel of everything, but it's nice to be on a stage because you can control the elements.
