I loved New York, but I never quite felt like New York was my home either.

What I thought 41 would be at 26 is definitely not what I feel now. I still feel incredibly youthful on the inside, in my brain.

I think Amy Sherman-Palladino has a very specific voice; it's unlike anyone else on television.

I'm used to working hard. Theater can be very grueling, and that's all I've ever known. It's what I've done for 20 years, which is crazy.

I'm a T-shirts, sweatpants and jeans kind of gal, I dress really simply and comfortably.

It's a bit of an outside-in approach - so often the clothing can reveal so much about a character. It's like part of her superhero costume that she gets to put on and become someone else.

I think if I had just slowed down a little bit it could have a little easier. I multiplied how difficult it needed to be instead of just saying, fair enough. You don't have to make it hard.
