Well, I was such a huge fan of Amy Sherman-Palladino and of 'Gilmore Girls.'

I am okay that has changed and I have some more wrinkles and my body is changing.

I'm probably in better shape now than I was when I was in my 20s.

I feel excited about getting older as an actress, too. I think there are some amazing opportunities around the corner and I don't need to hold on to myself or who I was when I was 25.

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.

Everyone's "journey" is different. Obviously with mine, I've had some amazing breaks, but then you have to be ready to seize the moment when the timing and the luck line up. You can't be afraid. You have to be open. I feel like I've always been a leaper, and I've always leapt into things without thinking.

I was a very outgoing, gregarious, full-of-energy kid.
