In the initial season of a show, you're figuring out your character and their life and their background and you're putting together all the chapters of the book.

Because I'm 5'4' and athletically built, if I gain five pounds it looks like a lot.

I get to do what I love every day. I get to crawl into someone else's head and I love that.

My girlfriends are my life, but I'm also one of those girls who can hang out with the guys.

I like to have a much greater base and know a lot more about my character before I begin to fill the person. So a lot of it really entails sit-downs with them, determining who she is, where she came from, and why she reacts a certain way, and then I was really able to expand upon a lot of that and create a lot of that story on my own.

Whenever I'm around my guy friends, I'm always playing video games. I've always enjoyed the graphics side of them, how they look.

When you realize who the good people are in your life, you're so lucky.
